At night, thick fog cuts your view to about 200 feet on a rural road. Which lights should you use?
Blue A is on a rural two-way road at night. Thick fog obscures the road ahead. No beam setting or route is selected.
Correct answer: Low beams, and use the road-edge lines to guide you
Why
Even light fog reduces how far you can see and makes it hard to judge distances, so slow down. Headlights also make your car easier for other drivers to see. Some cars have fog lights; Virginia law allows them together with the headlights, but they do not replace the headlights.
