When visibility is less than 1,000 feet because of fog, what lighting action does the manual require?
- Use the vehicle's headlights
- Use only the parking lights and leave headlights off
- Turn on hazard lights while keeping all other lights off
- Use high beams continuously so the fog reflects more light
Answer: Use the vehicle's headlights. North Dakota calls for headlights during inclement weather when visibility falls below 1,000 feet because of fog, rain, snow, sleet, hail, or smoke. The visibility threshold is the key detail, not a time-of-day rule. Parking lights alone make the vehicle harder to see, hazards do not replace required headlights, and high beams can worsen glare in fog. Use the headlights and reduce speed enough to stop within the distance you can see.
