High beams reflect off the fog droplets, actually worsening visibility for the driver and making it harder to see.
Question 19: What documentation must be carried during vehicle operation?
- Only proof of insurance.

These documents serve as official verification of the driver's authorization to operate the vehicle, the vehicle's legal status, and its financial protection. They must be presented to law enforcement upon request.

In commercial driving operations, the employer bears the primary responsibility for ensuring that all chauffeurs operating company vehicles are adequately covered under a commercial insurance policy. This arrangement protects the company from significant liability in case of an accident and ensures the chauffeur is covered while performing their duties. It is a critical component of risk management and legal compliance for the business.
