Questions Learners Have About Low Visibility Driving

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

How does low sun affect priority rules?

Low sun glare can obscure road signs and other vehicles, making it harder to establish priority. You must reduce speed and anticipate, adhering to explicit signs or the default priorité à droite rule if unmarked.

When should I use dipped headlights (feux de croisement) in France?

Dipped headlights should be used at night, during the day when visibility is poor (fog, heavy rain, snow), in tunnels, and whenever 'seeing and being seen' is compromised, even in agglomeration zones.

What is the speed limit in fog on French roads?

In fog where visibility is less than 50 meters, the speed limit is reduced to 50 km/h on all roads, including autoroutes and national roads, for all vehicle categories.

How do temporary signs impact priority in low visibility?

Temporary signs, often yellow, always take precedence over permanent signs. In low visibility, their clear, often reflective nature is crucial, and you must obey them even if they seem to contradict usual rules.

Are fog lights always mandatory in fog in France?

Front fog lights are optional and can be used in fog, heavy rain, or snow. Rear fog lights are mandatory in heavy fog or snow but must be switched off when visibility improves to avoid dazzling following drivers.
