Alberta Motor Association Special Driving Conditions and Emergency Procedures 2

Question 1

How should you drive when visibility is severely reduced by fog?

Accepted Answer

Use low beam headlights, reduce speed, and increase following distance

Answer

Low beams reduce glare in fog, lower speed gives more reaction time, and extra following distance accounts for reduced ability to see hazards ahead.

What should you do if you must stop your vehicle on a highway?

Accepted Answer

Pull as far onto the shoulder as possible, turn on hazard lights, and stay away from traffic if safe

Moving fully onto the shoulder removes your vehicle from the travel lane, and hazard lights warn approaching drivers of your presence.
