If visibility is reduced, what is typically the driver’s response?

When visibility is reduced, the driver’s typical response is to stop the bus. This action is vital for ensuring the safety of all passengers, as reduced visibility can significantly impair the driver's ability to see the road, other vehicles, pedestrians, and potential hazards. Stopping the bus allows the driver to assess the situation, wait for conditions to improve, and avoid accidents that could occur if they were to continue driving in low visibility conditions.

Choosing to stop gives the driver time to evaluate their surroundings thoroughly and maintain a safe environment for everyone on board. Other responses, such as continuing to drive cautiously or increasing speed, could lead to dangerous situations, as navigating through reduced visibility can be unpredictable and risky. Turning on high beams is also not ideal in fog or certain low visibility situations, as it can create glare and further reduce the driver's ability to see clearly.

Therefore, stopping the bus is the most responsible and safest action for the driver in such conditions.
