Practice question

In Georgia, what should you do when driving in fog?

  1. Use high beam headlights and speed up
  2. Use low beam headlights and reduce speed
  3. Turn off all lights to see better
  4. Drive in the center of the road for visibility

Answer: B — Use low beam headlights and reduce speed

Using low beam headlights and reducing speed is the recommended action when driving in fog because low beams are designed to provide better visibility under such conditions. High beam headlights can cause light to reflect off the fog, creating a glare that reduces visibility instead of improving it. By reducing speed, drivers allow themselves more time to react to obstacles or changes in the road ahead, which is particularly important in foggy conditions where visibility may be significantly compromised. This combination of using low beam headlights and driving at a slower speed enhances safety and increases the driver's ability to see and be seen by others.
