About Fog: why your normal driving habits no longer apply: which statement is WRONG?
- ✓ In dense fog the normal two-second following distance is still sufficient.
- Fog lights help others see you, but change nothing about your own reduced sight; you adjust your driving (speed, distance) regardless, once visibility is severely limited.
- You follow the right-hand lane as much as possible, so that in an emergency you can use the hard shoulder as a direct escape route.
- Referably do not overtake in dense fog, not even on a motorway.
