What Lights Should Be Turned On When Driving in the Rain?
1 Answers
When driving in the rain, the appropriate lights to use depend on the intensity of the rainfall. The following are three specific scenarios: 1. For light rain, use the width indicator lights: At the beginning of rainfall, the sky is relatively dark, but visibility is still acceptable. In this case, the width indicator lights should be used. 2. For heavy rain, turn on the headlights or front fog lights: When the rain is heavier, the rainwater itself obstructs visibility, and water on the road surface splashed by the tires of the vehicle ahead can create a mist, significantly affecting visibility. In such conditions, the headlights or front fog lights should be turned on. 3. For torrential rain, the rear fog lights can be activated: The rear fog lights should only be used during very heavy rain because the red tail lights of a car already have strong penetrating power, and ordinary heavy rain cannot block their light. The rear fog lights are extremely bright and are designed to penetrate thick fog.
