Questions Learners Have About Severe Weather Driving

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

When should I use my front fog lights in Iceland?

Front fog lights should be used when fog or similar weather conditions significantly reduce visibility and your regular headlights are not effective. Remember to turn them off when visibility improves.

What is the 'hvíta-logn' phenomenon and how should I react?

'Hvíta-logn' refers to a whiteout, a condition where snow, fog, and overcast skies combine to create a uniform white environment with no visible horizon. In such conditions, you should slow down to a crawl or find a safe place to stop immediately, as depth perception and direction can be completely lost.

How does the new warning sign 115 affect my driving?

The new warning sign 115 indicates impaired visibility due to weather. When you see this sign, you must immediately adjust your speed and driving style to the hazardous conditions, preparing for potentially very low visibility ahead.

What is the most critical rule if I can barely see on an Icelandic road?

If you cannot see the next yellow marker pole (stika) on the side of the road, it indicates extremely low visibility. You must reduce your speed to a crawl or safely pull over and wait for conditions to improve.

Is it always necessary to have headlights on in Iceland?

Yes, in Iceland, traffic laws require that headlights and taillights must be turned on at all times, all year round, even during daylight hours. Automatic settings may not always activate taillights, so always ensure they are manually switched on.
