Speed Limits & Following Distance

Thick fog forces you to slow well below the posted limit. What else should you do about spacing and speed?

  • A.Keep the posted speed so others are not delayed
  • B.Slow down for conditions and increase your following distance, using low-beam headlights
  • C.Use high beams to see farther in fog
  • D.Follow the taillights ahead as closely as possible
Correct answer

B. Slow down for conditions and increase your following distance, using low-beam headlights

Why

Speed limits are set for ideal conditions. In fog you must reduce speed, increase the gap ahead, and use low beams, because high beams reflect back and make visibility worse.
