sonal responsibility to assess the visibility con‐
ditions and traffic situation correctly. There is a
danger of accidents. Adapt your driving style to

tion and intervene actively if the situation war‐
rants it.

conditions. Observe the traffic situation and in‐
tervene actively if the situation warrants it.
