You should always move very slowly while operating in conditions of low visibility. This is because you cannot avoid accidents if you are moving to fast.
When operating in conditions of reduced visibility, such as fog or heavy rain, reduce your speed, use your headlights, and increase following distance. Stay alert, avoid sudden maneuvers, and use windshield wipers and defrosters to maintain visibility. Consider pulling over in a safe location if visibility becomes too poor to continue driving safely.

When operating in conditions of reduced visibility, it is crucial to reduce speed and increase following distances to allow for adequate reaction time. Use headlights and fog lights to improve visibility, and avoid using high beams as they can reflect off fog or rain, worsening visibility. Stay alert and be prepared to stop or change course if necessary. If conditions become too hazardous, find a safe place to pull over and wait for visibility to improve.
If you are operating a power-driven vessel in conditions of restricted visibility, you should reduce your speed to a safe level to allow for better maneuverability and reaction time. Maintain a proper lookout using sight and hearing, and use radar if available. Sound the appropriate signal as required by navigational rules, such as prolonged blasts on the horn. Be prepared to take evasive action if necessary to avoid collisions.

When operating a power-driven vessel in conditions of restricted visibility, you should take several precautions. First, reduce your speed to a safe level and maintain a lookout for other vessels and hazards. Use sound signals to communicate your presence, such as one prolonged blast followed by two short blasts if you are underway. Additionally, ensure you are aware of your vessel's position and use radar or other navigational aids to enhance situational awareness.
