You are driving in dense fog on a federal road (Bundesstraße) outside a built-up area. Are you allowed to drive in the middle of the road continuously straddling the broken white line?

Driving in the middle of the road while straddling the broken white line during dense fog on a federal road is not permitted because it poses a danger to oncoming traffic. This action can lead to confusion for other drivers and increases the likelihood of an accident, especially in low visibility conditions.

According to German traffic regulations, safety on the road must always be prioritized, and it is crucial to maintain a clear lane discipline to ensure the safety of all road users. Additionally, while using fog headlamps and rear fog lamps is recommended for visibility in fog, this does not justify unsafe positioning on the road. Therefore, the combination of choices indicates that straddling the line is dangerous regardless of the lighting conditions.
