How can you maintain a proper course when driving on an express road in thick fog?

Description

Art. 3 para. 1, art. 5 para. 1 in conjunction with art. 19 para. 1 and 2 and art. 30 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended).

Explanation

Correct answer: By following road markings designating the lanes.

When driving in dense fog, as in the situation shown, visibility is significantly reduced. To maintain the correct lane position, you should observe the horizontal road markings, particularly the edge line on the right-hand side. These lines are the closest and most reliable point of reference, helping you stay in your lane when the road ahead is not visible.
