1.

When driving in fog, you should use your:

Low beam headlights.
High beam headlights.
Parking lights.
Hazard flashers.

Explanation ▾

If you must drive in foggy conditions, you should use your low beam headlights, as well as your fog lights, if your vehicle has them. High beams direct their light upwards, where it can bounce off the fog and into your eyes, reducing visibility even more.

2.

What may help drivers conserve gasoline?

Sitting in their driveways with their cars running.
Accelerating quickly.
Slowing down gradually.
Braking abruptly.

Explanation ▾

Every time you have to stop quickly, it takes time and fuel to accelerate and get your vehicle back up to the speed of traffic. Drivers who look far ahead of their vehicles can slow down gradually or change lanes to avoid unnecessary braking, leading to better gas mileage.

If you are driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you should:

Decrease your speed.
Pull off the right side of the road and let traffic pass.
Not let the other cars pass your vehicle.

Explanation ▾

Driving more slowly than the flow of traffic can be hazardous. If you are on a two-lane, two-way road and driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you are required to pull off the road and let the other vehicles pass. Only drive significantly under the speed limit when conditions require it.
