What should you do in case of poor visibility due to weather conditions?

When visibility is poor due to weather conditions, pulling over until conditions improve is the safest and most responsible action to take. This decision allows you to avoid the risks associated with riding in low visibility situations, such as not being able to see other vehicles, obstacles, or changes in the road. By stopping in a safe area, you can also assess the weather and wait until it is safe to proceed.

In contrast, speeding up to get through quickly may exacerbate the danger, as it can lead to losing control, not seeing hazards in time, or not giving yourself enough reaction time. Turning on high beams is not ideal in fog, rain, or snow as the light can reflect back and further reduce visibility. Riding close to the centerline places you at greater risk of encountering oncoming vehicles, especially if visibility is limited; it also increases the likelihood of veering into traffic unexpectedly. Thus, choosing to pull over aligns with best safety practices when faced with poor visibility conditions.
