Common sense, You can't see as much and you shouldn't over drive your headlights.. You have to allow for braking time if something is in the road because you won't see it until the last second.

Should you use your high beam lights when driving in the fog?

Low beams. Better yet, if you have them, use fog lamps that are mounted low on the vehicle and are aimed mostly down at the road.


If a car with bright light comes toward you at night you should?

First flash from low to high beams and back. This is a polite reminder to the other driver that he has his high beams on and that he is blinding you. If that doesn't work, and he leaves his high beams on, check traffic out in front of you, in your lane, as far as you can see. If you lane is clear look down and to the right side of the lane you are in until he passes you. This allows you to stay in your lane and not weave.


What should a driver do at night if an oncoming car has its high beams shining into your eyes?
