You are driving a passenger car in a fog which limits the visibility to 40 metres. Which of these actions may improve safety of driving?

Description

Art. 30 para. 3 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2005, No. 108, item 908, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Switching on the rear fog lights.

Turning on the rear fog lights significantly improves the visibility of our vehicle to other drivers, which is crucial in dense fog. According to Art. 30 of the Road Traffic Act, they can be used when visibility drops below 50 metres. It is important to remember to turn them off immediately when visibility improves, so as not to dazzle other drivers.
