Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Safety
- By using an additional spot light to detect road hazards.
- By using the rear fog light to reinforce your head lights beam.
- By turning on the long-distance high beam and driving at a high speed accordingly.
- By adjusting your driving speed to your field of vision at all times.
