When driving in fog, which headlight setting should you use?
Answer: Low beams
Low beams should be used in fog because high beams reflect off fog droplets and reduce visibility further.
If fog becomes so thick you cannot see well enough to drive safely, what should you do?
Answer: Pull completely off the road and use only hazard flashers
In extremely dense fog, you should pull completely off the road and use only hazard flashers to avoid attracting other drivers toward your vehicle.
When your vehicle is stopped due to fog, which signals should you use to alert approaching drivers?
Answer: Activate four-way hazard flashers
Four-way hazard flashers alert approaching drivers to your position without the blinding or attracting effect of headlights aimed down the road.
In conditions of reduced visibility such as fog, what adjustment should you make to your driving?
Answer: Reduce speed and increase following distance
Reduced visibility requires lower speeds and greater following distance to allow adequate reaction and stopping time.
Smoke from a wildfire or industrial source creates driving hazards most similar to which condition?
Answer: Dense fog
Smoke reduces visibility in ways similar to dense fog and requires the same precautions, including low beams and reduced speed.
When approaching a foggy area on the highway, what should you do before entering it?
Answer: Slow down before entering the fog
You should reduce speed before entering a foggy area so you have adequate control and visibility margin once inside.
