Safe driving techniquesQuestion 304 of 318

The fog is very thick. What should you do?

  1. Drive on the shoulder with your high beams on
  2. Stop in a safe place and turn on your hazard lights
  3. Follow the tail lights of the vehicle ahead
  4. Stop in a safe place and turn off all your lights
Show answer

Correct answer: Stop in a safe place and turn on your hazard lights

Wait for the fog to lift in a safe place, off the road. Use the hazard lights. Headlights left on could make other drivers think you are still on the road.
