When driving in fog, you should:

Use your high beam headlights.
Use your parking lights.
Use your low beam headlights.

Explanation ▾

Drivers should use low beam headlights when driving in fog. High beams will reflect back at the driver, making it difficult to see.

If you drive too fast on a wet road, there is a danger that:

Your tires will start to glide over the water.
Your ability to judge speed and control will be impaired.
Your own spray will obscure the vision of other drivers.

Explanation ▾

When the road is wet, most tires have good traction when being driven at speeds of up to about 35 mph. As you drive faster, your tires may start to ride up on the water like water skis. This is called "hydroplaning.”

Where is it safe to pass another vehicle?

Within an intersection where there are no oncoming vehicles
Wherever signs and/or pavement markings permit passing
Within a curve where there are no oncoming vehicles

Never pass within intersections or at other intersecting points, such as parking lot entrances and alleyways. Any time your view is blocked by a curve or a hill, you should stay in your lane and assume that there is an oncoming vehicle just out of sight. Wherever signs and/or pavement markings permit passing other vehicles, you will have to determine whether or not you have enough space to pass in a safe manner.
