Should Low Beam Headlights Be Turned On When Starting in Snowy Weather?

[LeClara]

In snowy or icy weather conditions, low beam headlights should be turned on when starting. Generally, visibility is low during snowy weather, so it is important to use the correct lights: 1. Turn on the fog lights and low beam headlights to help the driver clearly observe the road ahead; 2. Turn on the side marker lights and front/rear position lights to indicate the presence of your vehicle, allowing vehicles in front and behind to see your specific position and driving conditions, making it easier for them to take appropriate measures. Reasons for using low beam headlights in snowy weather: 1. To illuminate the road conditions ahead through thick fog, as fog lights generally have stronger penetration and higher power, brightness, and angle compared to low beam headlights. 2. Snow has strong reflectivity, and using fog lights in such conditions can easily cause glare and reflection, which may impair driving visibility and reduce safety.
