Question

It is a very windy day. A dust storm blows across the freeway, reducing your visibility. You should slow down and turn on your:

A) Hazard lights
B) High beams
C) Air conditioner
D) Windshield wipers

Answer 1

In reduced visibility caused by a dust storm, you should slow down and turn on your windshield wipers, and possibly your hazard lights, but not your high beams or air conditioner.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a very windy day when a dust storm blows across the freeway and reduces your visibility, you should slow down and turn on your Windshield wipers. Hazard lights could also be appropriate to warn other drivers of your presence; however, high beams are not advised because they can reflect off the dust and further impair visibility, and the air conditioner has no impact on outside visibility (though recirculate setting might help prevent dust from getting inside the vehicle). The windshield wipers can help keep the windshield clear of dust that settles on the vehicle.
