BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- The California Highway Patrol is warning the residents of Kern County about the dangers of fog.

Thursday morning's fog delayed seven school districts and caused problems for drivers everywhere.

Fog, along with drivers' inattention, over the years has been responsible for accidents throughout the county.

"Our biggest worry is that someone's going to get injured or killed," says Sgt. Layne Logan of the CHP.

Logan said when driving in the fog, you should slow down. When visibility is low, never drive over 40 mph. Keep your headlights on but only your low beams. High beams reflect fog back onto your windshield, blinding you.

Make sure defrosters and windshield wipers are working properly, and roll down your windows. Listen for approaching traffic that you may not be able to see.
