Question 8120
Should the safe following distance be increased when there is fog?
- Only if the vehicle ahead does not have a rear fog light.
- Yes, to have more room to react to any braking by the vehicle ahead.
- Distance does not affect Detention when there is fog.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, to have more room to react to any braking by the vehicle ahead.
Yes. In fog, you can see little more than the lights of the vehicle ahead, and you cannot see what is happening in front of it. Leave more distance so you can react if it brakes suddenly, whether its rear fog light is on or not.
