In foggy weather, the method for using lights is to turn on the position lights and front and rear fog lights. Precautions for using lights are: 1. Turn on low beams when driving at night; 2. Do not use high beams when a following vehicle is driving close to the leading vehicle in the same direction; 3. When passing sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic lights at night, alternate between high and low beams to signal. Types of car lights include: headlights, fog lights, brake lights, daytime running lights, and hazard warning lights. The method for adjusting high beams is: 1. Locate the headlight height adjustment button in the car; 2. Rotate upward to lower the beam height, rotate downward to raise the beam height; 3. Adjust the button to the desired setting.

In foggy conditions, the first thing I do is turn on the low beam headlights and front/rear fog lights. High beams should never be used because they reflect off the fog, making visibility worse and creating more danger. The rear fog light is especially important - though its light is intense, it effectively warns following vehicles to avoid rear-end collisions. You must drive slowly and maintain at least double the usual following distance. I remember last winter during heavy fog, there were few cars on the road but with proper lighting usage, I could see the road clearly and got home safely. Everyone should develop good habits - don't cut corners with fog light usage, as improper operation in foggy conditions could lead to accidents you'll deeply regret.

Having driven for over a decade, I deeply understand the importance of light scattering in foggy conditions: using low beams and fog lights is optimal. Fog lights are designed to project light horizontally towards the ground, offering good penetration through fog without causing glare. High beams, which shoot vertically upwards into the fog, create a blinding whiteout. Always turn on the rear fog light to be conspicuous and avoid rear-end collisions. Avoid using hazard lights unless parked, as they can easily mislead other drivers. The principle of light reflection is simple but crucial for safety. Every time I drive in fog, I first check my lights to ensure clear visibility, just in case.

As a new driver, my instructor repeatedly emphasized the correct use of lights in foggy conditions: first turn on the low beams and avoid using high beams, otherwise the reflected light will make it hard to see ahead; both front and rear fog lights should be turned on to make other vehicles aware of you. Don't use hazard lights as it can lead to misjudgment. Keep your speed slow and prioritize safety. Handling lights properly in foggy weather indeed reduces risks and avoids trouble.
