How should you drive when visibility is severely reduced by fog?
Answer: Use low beam headlights, reduce speed, and increase following distance
Low beams reduce glare in fog, lower speed gives more reaction time, and extra following distance accounts for reduced ability to see hazards ahead.
What should you do if you must stop your vehicle on a highway?
Answer: Pull as far onto the shoulder as possible, turn on hazard lights, and stay away from traffic if safe
Moving fully onto the shoulder removes your vehicle from the travel lane, and hazard lights warn approaching drivers of your presence.
What are the legal requirements after a collision in Alberta?
