Водителей предупреждают о снижании видимости на дороге, необходимости снизить скорость, двигаться с включёнными фарами ближнего света и соблюдать повышенную дистанцию между участниками дорожного движения.
[IN ENGLISH]Fog covers Los Angeles. Drivers were warned of dangerous conditions. Dense fog limits visibility. The weather service advised motorists to slow down. Motorists are advised to increase following distance and use low-beam headlights. The fog reduced visibility to less than a quarter-mile, and to near zero at times.
Understanding the text should not be too hard, but may need some clarification. Let us look at the sentence
Motorists are advised to increase following distance.
Following distance is the distance between cars. And to increase means to make bigger. So, Motorists are advised to increase following distance means that drivers of cars should keep a bigger distance from other cars on the road / street / highway.
Now, let us look at the headlights of the car. Clearly, they are the lights which are in front of the car.
Now, headlights may be different but they serve the same purpose, they light the road ahead, so they enable the driver to see in the dark. Understandably, headlights come in handy when it is dark and in the fog.
