What is the effect of fog lights?
1 Answers
Fog lights are installed at the front of the car, slightly lower than the headlights, and are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. In foggy conditions with low visibility, the driver's line of sight is limited. Yellow fog lights have strong light penetration, which can improve the visibility of both the driver and surrounding traffic participants, ensuring driving safety. Here are some precautions regarding the use of fog lights: 1. Fog lights are suitable for severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, snow, or dusty environments. The visible range of fog lights is approximately 100 meters. When visibility drops below 100 meters, it is necessary to turn on the fog lights and reduce speed. 2. When visibility is below 30 meters, the effectiveness of front fog lights is limited, and it is advisable to pull over and turn on the hazard warning lights. 3. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or dusty weather, besides turning on fog lights and reducing speed, some drivers may habitually turn on the hazard warning lights (double flashing lights). However, this is unnecessary. Firstly, fog lights have much greater penetration than hazard warning lights. Secondly, when hazard warning lights are turned on, the vehicle loses the ability to signal turns, making it difficult for drivers to indicate turns or lane changes, which can easily be overlooked by other vehicles and lead to traffic accidents.
