How to Use Lights When Driving in the Rain?
1 Answers
Turn on your lights under the following conditions when driving in the rain: 1. Heavy rain: Rainwater itself obstructs visibility, and water on the road surface can be kicked up by the tires of the vehicle in front, creating a mist that also significantly affects visibility. In such cases, you should turn on your headlights or front fog lights. Some worry that fog lights may dazzle the vehicle ahead, but if the fog lights are properly designed, this won't happen. Fog lights are not meant for illumination; their beams are scattered, making them bright but not dazzling. 2. Torrential rain: Rear fog lights should only be turned on during very heavy rain. The red taillights already have excellent penetration power, and ordinary heavy rain usually doesn't block their light. Rear fog lights are extremely bright and designed to cut through thick fog. Using them in normal rainy conditions can easily dazzle the driver behind, compromising safety if their visibility is affected.
