All B+E licence questions · DGT question bank

Visibility drops because of fog or heavy rain while driving a B+E vehicle combination. What should you do?

Correct answer

Reduce speed and increase the following gap according to conditions.

Reduce speed according to visibility and increase your gap so the combination can stop within the visible clear space. Adapt lighting to conditions: rear fog lights are used only in particularly adverse conditions, not for every small visibility reduction. Do not hold a fixed speed merely because it is below the limit or compensate for poor visibility by accelerating.
