1. When driving in fog, you should:

Use your high beam headlights.

Use your parking lights.

Use your low beam headlights.

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

This sign is placed on roads near schools to warn drivers to slow down, drive with caution, and watch for children.

3. Which of the following is true about driving on a wet roadway?

As you drive faster, your tires become less effective.

Water does not affect cars with good tires.

Deep water is less dangerous than shallow water.

As you decrease your speed, the roadway becomes more slippery.

The faster you drive on a wet roadway, the less effective your tires will be at wiping the water from the road. If your speed becomes excessive enough, your tires will lose their grip on the road entirely and you will begin to hydroplane (that is, to slide down the road on a film of water).

Slow down and prepare to stop if cars are approaching you.

Come to a full stop and go when it is safe to do so.

Proceed carefully through the intersection, not always stopping.

Stop only for traffic on an intersecting road.
