What Lights Should You Turn On When Driving in the Rain?

[OEmilia]

Lights to turn on when driving in the rain: For light to moderate rain, turn on the low beam headlights; for heavy rain, use low beam headlights and front fog lights; for torrential rain, use low beam headlights along with front and rear fog lights. Precautions for driving in the rain: 1. Regardless of road width or condition, slow down and drive cautiously in the rain, pay attention to vehicles in front and behind, and be prepared to take emergency measures if necessary. 2. Reduced visibility during rain calls for maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles, constantly monitoring the distance to the cars ahead and behind, and increasing the safety gap. 3. Be mindful of pedestrians, slow down, and patiently yield the right of way. If necessary, choose a safe spot to stop rather than rushing to compete with pedestrians or cyclists. 4. In heavy or torrential rain, some road sections may experience severe water accumulation in a short time. If you must drive through water, do so at a low gear and maintain a steady speed. If the vehicle stalls while moving, do not attempt to restart it immediately—blindly restarting could cause severe engine damage. After stalling, contact a professional repair shop promptly. Only restart the vehicle after a technician has inspected it on-site and confirmed there are no issues.
