What is a recommended action if driving in foggy conditions?

In foggy conditions, visibility is significantly reduced, making it crucial to use the appropriate lighting to ensure you are visible to others and can see the road ahead. Using low beam headlights is recommended because they aim the light downwards, reducing glare that can reflect off the fog and impair visibility further. Fog lights are specifically designed to illuminate the road directly in front of the vehicle without being too bright, which helps to improve visibility in fog and mist.

When combined, these lighting options help enhance your ability to see the roadway while minimizing glare that can exacerbate the difficult driving conditions associated with fog. In contrast, driving faster to clear the area quickly can increase the risk of accidents, high beam headlights can blind oncoming vehicles and create more glare, and staying in the middle lane does not specifically address the visibility challenges presented by fog.
