How to Use Vehicle Lights in Rainy Weather?
2 Answers
Here are the methods for using vehicle lights in rainy weather: 1. When it just starts raining, although the sky is relatively dark, visibility is still acceptable. In this case, you should use the width indicator lights. 2. When the rain is heavier, you should turn on the headlights or front fog lights: Clearly, the width indicator lights are no longer sufficient to make your vehicle visible to others in such rainy conditions, so you should consider turning on the headlights or front fog lights. 3. Only when the rain is extremely heavy should you turn on the rear fog lights: Because the red tail lights themselves have excellent penetration power, and ordinary heavy rain cannot block their light. The rear fog lights are very bright and are designed to penetrate thick fog. Using them in ordinary rainy weather can easily dazzle the vehicles behind.
Driving in rainy weather requires proper use of vehicle lights. I always keep my low beams on, as they're much better than high beams - they don't reflect off wet surfaces, allowing me to see the road clearly and stay safe. If my car has fog lights, I turn those on too, especially during heavy rain, because their strong penetration makes it easier for vehicles behind to spot my position. Normally, I make sure my parking lights are on to increase visibility. I've developed the habit of regularly checking all lights for functionality - with reduced visibility in rain, having a light out would be dangerous. Actually, using lights in rain isn't just for yourself; it's mainly to help others notice you earlier and prevent rear-end collisions. Remember to clean your windshield and use wipers properly for overall safer driving. These tips come from years of daily driving experience - simple, practical, and effective for accident prevention.
