Using your high beam lights in the fog.

Staring at the road ahead of your vehicle.

Checking your rearview mirrors frequently.

To stay aware of hazards, you should scan the road and check your rearview mirrors every two to five seconds. Constantly staring at just the road ahead of you is dangerous. If you must drive in foggy conditions, you should use your low beam headlights, not your high beam headlights.

The maximum or minimum legal speed you can travel on a road under ideal conditions.

The suggested speed to travel on a road under ideal conditions.

None of the above.

A speed limit is the maximum or minimum legal speed you can travel on a road under ideal conditions. You may drive more slowly than the posted speed, but it is illegal to drive any faster.

If conditions such as road construction or bad weather make the posted speed unsafe, drive under the speed limit.

7. If another car is in danger of hitting you, you should:

Sound your horn.

Wave your arms.

Use your emergency lights.

Flash your headlights.

Your horn should be used to warn other drivers or pedestrians in situations where they may not see you. For example, if you think another driver is about to hit you, you should sound your horn.

8. When you see other drivers around you acting or reacting in anger:

Don’t make eye contact.

Don't react with hand gestures.

Distance yourself from the situation.

All of these.

When other drivers are behaving angrily, you should take action to physically and mentally distance yourself from the situation. Avoid making eye contact with them, or making body movements or gestures that could provoke them. Slow down, move over, or do whatever you safely can to put yourself out of danger.
