35 vehicle pileup near Bakersfield due to fog (Original Post) Demovictory9 Jan 2024 OP
Yep, continue to drive 70 mph even you can't see more than a couple hundred feet chicoescuela Jan 2024 #1
It's a scary situation. Do you stop and get plowed into? Where is the side of the road? Is a car already parked there? Demovictory9 Jan 2024 #5

Luckily I was able to get off the highway until it cleared. A couple of weeks later that same stretch had an 80+ car pileup.

Driving in tule fog is like sitting still in a small white room about the size of your car. It's surreal. You lose track of your location and speed.
