I guess the key to driving safely in the fog is to make sure you have your taillights on, so other people can see you from behind.

I just landed in YVR, and above all this fog was a beautiful sunset over the Rockies!! The landscapes were gorgeous, I didn't really want to land!
It's funny because the fog is sitting super low too! We dipped the plan into the clouds and within 10 seconds we were landing! If the fog was to clear Vancouver would actually enjoy the a beautiful sunny day!

I saw a couple cities peaking out of the fog. If your high enough, you can see the fog engulfing all of the lower mainland!

I notice a lot of stupid people speeding excessively because of the fog; I assume it's because they think they won't get seen by cops?

I wonder if the red light cameras can get a pic of someone running a red?

A lot of drivers have burnt out brake lights and city lights. It irritates me a lot, especially with the recent foggy weather. I can't really blame them cause they don't know that they're burnt out and it's hard to tell them that they have a burnt out bulb while driving. :/ Oh well... :/
