CLP Driving in Adverse Conditions 2

Question 1

When driving in fog, which headlight setting should you use?

Accepted Answer

Low beams

Answer

Low beams should be used in fog because high beams reflect off fog droplets and reduce visibility further.

Question 2

If fog becomes so thick you cannot see well enough to drive safely, what should you do?

Accepted Answer

Pull completely off the road and use only hazard flashers

Answer

In extremely dense fog, you should pull completely off the road and use only hazard flashers to avoid attracting other drivers toward your vehicle.

Question 3

When your vehicle is stopped due to fog, which signals should you use to alert approaching drivers?

Accepted Answer

Activate four-way hazard flashers

Answer

Four-way hazard flashers alert approaching drivers to your position without the blinding or attracting effect of headlights aimed down the road.

Question 4

In conditions of reduced visibility such as fog, what adjustment should you make to your driving?

Accepted Answer

Reduce speed and increase following distance

Answer

Reduced visibility requires lower speeds and greater following distance to allow adequate reaction and stopping time.

Question 5

Smoke from a wildfire or industrial source creates driving hazards most similar to which condition?

Accepted Answer

Dense fog

Answer

Smoke reduces visibility in ways similar to dense fog and requires the same precautions, including low beams and reduced speed.
