Which of the following actions should you perform when driving a passenger car at night in a fog?
Description
Pt 2.2. of Section II of the Detailed training programme for persons applying for driving licences for category B vehicles, Annex No. 1 to the Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy of 13 July 2012 on the training of persons applying for driving licences, instructors and lecturers (Item 1019).
Explanation
Correct answer: Decrease the speed.
When driving in fog, especially at night, visibility is drastically reduced. Above all, you should significantly reduce your speed to have time to react and stop the vehicle within the visible distance. Using main beam headlights (high beams) is inadvisable because the light reflects off the fog and dazzles the driver, worsening visibility.
