When poor weather conditions affect how well you can see, you should
- slow down and turn on your low beam lights ✓
- drive with hazard lights on
- maintain your speed but ask your passengers to watch out for hazards
- turn on your high beam lights
Answer: A. slow down and turn on your low beam lights
Slow down and turn on your low beam lights when poor weather makes it hard to see.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says difficult weather can reduce visibility. In low visibility conditions, it lists slowing down, keeping extra space, searching and scanning more carefully, and using low beam headlights in rain, snow and fog. That matches the choice to slow down and turn on low beams. High beams are not the handbook's low-visibility choice, and the other suggestions here are not part of its low-visibility steps.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. drive with hazard lights on — The handbook's low-visibility steps do not include driving with hazard lights on; they list slowing down and using low beam headlights instead.
- C. maintain your speed but ask your passengers to watch out for hazards — Keeping your speed and relying on passengers to watch for hazards is not among the handbook's steps, which say to slow down and search and scan more carefully.
- D. turn on your high beam lights — The handbook limits high beams to unlit roads at night when no vehicles are approaching or ahead, and it says to use low beams in rain, snow and fog.
Remember it
Think "slow and low" when weather makes it hard to see ahead.
