What should drivers do when visibility is severely limited?

When visibility is severely limited, reducing speed and using low beams is essential for safe driving. Low beams provide adequate lighting for close-range visibility without causing glare that can impair the vision of oncoming drivers. By slowing down, drivers have more time to react to obstacles, road conditions, or other vehicles that may be difficult to see in poor visibility.

Using high beams in such conditions can create a blinding effect for both the driver and others on the road, making the situation even more dangerous. Driving rapidly to reach safety might seem like a logical approach, but it increases the risk of accidents since important visual cues may be missed. Relying solely on streetlights may not provide sufficient illumination in areas that lack adequate lighting or during adverse weather conditions. Thus, the safest approach is to reduce speed and use low beams to navigate through low-visibility situations effectively.
