What is the method for using lights in foggy weather?

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.
