Can Hazard Lights Be Used During Heavy Rain?

[DeBrady]

During heavy rain, hazard lights are generally not used. However, when visibility drops below 100 meters, hazard lights must be turned on to ensure driving safety. At the same time, front and rear fog lights should also be activated, and the vehicle speed should be appropriately reduced. Rules for Using Hazard Lights: Hazard lights are used to alert other vehicles or pedestrians that the vehicle is experiencing a special situation, prompting them to yield in time. Chinese law strictly regulates the use of hazard lights. Misusing them not only diminishes their effectiveness and compromises driving safety but may also result in a fine. How to Use Lights Properly in Rainy Weather: The most correct approach is to use fog lights instead of hazard lights, as fog lights have stronger penetration in rainy or foggy conditions, providing better warning. (According to national standards, vehicles must be equipped with rear fog lights.)
