What must you now do? DVSA-style practice question · Vehicle Handling ## The answer options - Turn off your fog lights.**Correct** - Leave your front fog lights on. - Leave your rear fog lights on. - Leave all fog lights on in case the fog comes back. ## Why that is the answer You must switch off your fog lights as soon as visibility improves. High-intensity fog lights can dazzle other road users, and rear fog lights obscure your brake lights, making it harder for drivers behind to see when you slow down. The Highway Code states fog lights must only be used when visibility is seriously reduced to less than 100 metres, so leaving them on just in case is unsafe and illegal. ## How this comes up in the real test Questions from vehicle handling appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves. The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
