When driving in fog at night, the lights that should be turned on include fog lights, tail lights, marker lights, and low beams. High beams should not be used. More information about driving in fog at night is as follows: 1. Article 58 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When motor vehicles are driving at night without street lights, poor lighting, or in conditions of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, they should turn on headlights, marker lights, and rear position lights. However, high beams should not be used when the following vehicle is driving close to the preceding vehicle in the same direction. High beams should not be used because the upward tilt of the high beam axis causes the light to scatter diffusely in the fog, creating a blinding white haze in front of the vehicle, making it impossible to see anything while driving. 2. Before driving in fog, remember to thoroughly check your vehicle's lighting system. While driving, follow the regulations on light usage to maximize visibility and clearly observe the movements of vehicles and pedestrians. When driving in fog, strictly adhere to the speed limits set by traffic rules and avoid speeding. The thicker the fog, the shorter the visibility distance, and the lower the speed should be. When visibility is less than 200 meters but greater than 100 meters, the speed should not exceed 60 km/h. When visibility is less than 100 meters but greater than 50 meters, the speed should not exceed 40 km/h. When visibility is within 30 meters, the speed should be controlled below 20 km/h. If visibility is within 10 meters, it is recommended to stop by the roadside and not continue driving.
