Reduce your speed and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in frontThis was the right answer

When travelling in fog, use dipped headlights so that other road users can see you. When visibility is seriously reduced, you may also use fog lights. Drive at a reduced speed and make sure you can stop within the distance you can see to be clear.
