Question 7031
When visibility is poor due to fog, how should you drive?
- With one foot resting permanently on the brake pedal.
- By increasing the safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.
- At a speed below the permitted limit.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: By increasing the safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.
In fog, you see less and react later to what the driver ahead does, so you increase your following distance. You also slow down, and your guide is being able to stop within the distance you can see. Driving a little below the speed limit is not enough if you still cannot do that.
