Should You Turn on Headlights and Fog Lights When Temporarily Parking in Snow?

[VonChristian]

When temporarily parking in snow, you should not turn on the headlights and fog lights. Instead, you should activate the hazard warning flashers, clearance lights, and rear position lights. Fog lights have strong penetration, and using them in snowy conditions can cause glare due to reflection, which may affect driving safety. Hazard warning flashers are signal lights that alert other vehicles and pedestrians to the fact that this vehicle is experiencing a special situation. Clearance lights are warning lights located at the front and rear edges of the vehicle, used to alert other vehicles. Rear position lights, commonly known as small lights, primarily indicate the presence and approximate width of the vehicle, making it easier for other vehicles to judge during encounters and overtaking.
