    Study Notes

    Driving in Fog and Night Conditions

    • Use low beams when driving in fog to enhance visibility.
    • High-beam headlights are safe to use at night when legal.
    • Parking lights should never be used alone for driving.

    Handling Oncoming Vehicles and Road Conditions

    • If an oncoming vehicle fails to dim its high beams, focus on the right edge of your lane.
    • Roadways are particularly slippery during the first rain after a dry spell.
    • In construction zones, always obey the signal person's instructions for safety.

    Visibility Challenges and Safety Practices

    • Slow down and turn on headlights if dust or smoke obstructs your view.
    • The best course of action in heavy fog or dust is to avoid driving until conditions improve.

    Adjusting Speed and Maneuvering

    • When the speed limit is 55 mph, reduce speed by 5 to 10 mph on wet roads.
    • When passing a large truck in the center lane, do so quickly on the left to clear the truck's path.

    Night Driving Precautions

    • Drive slowly enough on dimly lit streets to stop within your headlights' reach.
    • Bridges and overpasses are prone to hidden ice on freezing, wet days.

    Vehicle Control During Adverse Conditions

    • If hydroplaning occurs, gradually slow down without braking hard.
    • In case of a skid on wet roads, ease off the gas pedal gently.

    Emergency Situations
