Answer

The solid white line painted along the right edge of the road
Tracking the solid white line on the right edge of the roadway provides a clear visual guide to maintain your position in the lane while keeping your vehicle at a safe distance from oncoming traffic.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary hazard of driving in fog.
Reduced forward sight distance and high glare from light sources.
Fog scatters light, making far-off objects and oncoming vehicles difficult to see.
2
Determine the safest visual reference point for maintaining lane position.
Track the right edge line (fog line).
The right edge line keeps the vehicle centered in its lane while steering clear of oncoming traffic.
