Questions Learners Have About Fog & Low Visibility

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Fog & Low Visibility, including how questions match the official theory exam in Austria, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

When should I use dipped headlights in foggy conditions in Austria?

In Austria, dipped headlights (Abblendlicht) should always be used when visibility is poor due to fog, heavy rain, or snow, even during the day. They help you see and be seen more effectively without dazzling others.

What is the rule for using rear fog lights in Austria?

Rear fog lights (Nebelschlussleuchte) should only be used in Austria when visibility is severely reduced to 50 meters or less due to fog, heavy rain, or snow. They are very bright and can dazzle drivers behind you when visibility improves, so switch them off promptly.

How should I adjust my speed when driving in dense fog on an Austrian Autobahn?

When driving in dense fog on an Austrian Autobahn, you must significantly reduce your speed so you can stop safely within your visible stopping distance. Never drive faster than you can clearly see ahead, regardless of the posted speed limit.

Is it permitted to rely on the tail lights of the vehicle in front during fog?

No, you should never rely solely on the tail lights of the vehicle in front in fog. Their speed or sudden braking might not be appropriate for your vehicle or the conditions, potentially leading to a dangerous collision. Always maintain your own safe following distance, which on Freilandstraßen is a minimum of 50 meters, and often more in poor visibility.

When should I switch off my fog lights?

You should switch off your fog lights, especially your rear fog light, as soon as visibility improves beyond the 50-meter threshold for the rear fog light, or when front fog lights are no longer needed to illuminate the road better than dipped headlights alone. Keeping them on unnecessarily can blind other drivers and is against Austrian regulations.
