BDifficulty 2/5

Do you need to change your driving speed when there is fog?

Correct answer

Yes, reduce it to suit the visible distance ahead.

Adapt speed to the visible distance and fog density so you can stop before an obstacle within that distance. Increase following distance and use appropriate lighting. Do not start an overtake without sufficient visibility and margin; fog alone does not establish an absolute ban on every overtake, for example in same-direction lanes without entering opposing traffic. Markings help guide you but do not justify an unsafe speed.
