Question 895 in the bank

According to the following picture, what caused the poor field of vision?

View through a windscreen of a wet road in grey, hazy air, a car ahead with red rear lights, trees on both sides.
  1. A disruption in the field of vision can only be a result of blinding by another vehicle driving in the opposite direction.
  2. The disruption is caused because the distance between the two vehicles is too small.
  3. Correct answer: The fog caused the poor field of vision.
  4. The disruption shown in the picture is inevitable, regardless of its cause.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The fog caused the poor field of vision.

The picture shows grey, hazy air that hides the road and the vehicles ahead, which is what limits the driver's view. In fog you should slow down, use suitable lights and increase the gap to the vehicle in front. The distance between the vehicles does not cause the poor vision, and glare from oncoming traffic is not its only cause. Knowing the cause lets you adapt your driving.
