Tule fog is a ground-hugging, often very dense, fog, common in the Central
Valley of
California (and other places, but that's where I've experienced it). Again, the
best lamp
for foggy conditions is a bright white beam with a sharp top cutoff to minimize
reflection
from the fog. There will be some conditions, however, in which the best
solution is to
pull over and wait it out!
