How should you drive when visibility is poor?

Increase the following distance
Increase your speed
Use low beams
Use the horn often

The correct answer is: Increase the following distance

When visibility is poor, such as during fog, heavy rain, or snow, it is important to adjust your driving behavior to stay safe on the road. By increasing the following distance between your vehicle and the one ahead of you (option A), you will have more time to react to any sudden stops or hazards that may occur. This increased distance can help prevent rear-end collisions, which are common in low-visibility conditions. Avoiding options like increasing your speed (option B) is crucial during poor visibility, as higher speeds can reduce your reaction time and increase the risk of losing control. Using low beams (option C) instead of high beams helps you see the road better without reflecting the light off the moisture particles in the air, which can further reduce visibility. Using the horn often (option D) is not a recommended practice, especially in poor visibility, as it may startle other drivers and cause confusion rather than improve safety.
