**Question:** In dense fog on an expressway when visibility is less than 100 meters, you must turn on your headlights, clearance lights, tail lights, and other lights while driving.
**Correct:** True
**Explanation:** The Rules of the Road set the threshold for turning on headlights and other lights in tunnels or dense fog at 50 meters of visibility on regular roads and 200 meters on expressways. On an expressway where you cannot see 100 meters ahead, you naturally cannot see 200 meters either, so this meets the threshold and the lights are required.
