You are driving on the motorway in a motor vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 7.5 t. The heavy snowfall has reduced visibility to less than 50 m. What must you do?

Your selected answer correctly reflects the German traffic rules applicable in this scenario.

1. Not using the extreme left-hand lane ensures safety under conditions of reduced visibility, as this lane is typically for faster-moving traffic. It helps prevent accidents and allows for safer lane changes if necessary.

2. Limiting your speed to a maximum of 50 km/h is crucial in heavy snowfall and poor visibility. This speed limit allows for better control of the vehicle and increased reaction time in case of an emergency or unexpected road conditions.

Both rules are essential for ensuring safety on the motorway during adverse weather conditions. Always remember to adapt your driving to the circumstances to minimize risks for yourself and other road users.
