What Lights to Turn On in Rainy or Snowy Weather?

[VonMaya]

When driving in rainy or snowy weather, you can turn on fog lights, low beams, width indicator lights, front and rear position lights, hazard warning lights, etc., basically all lights can be turned on depending on the intensity of rain or snow and the level of visibility. Remember not to turn on high beams. Specific instructions are as follows: When encountering light rain, light snow, or thin fog during driving, with visibility less than 200 meters, you need to turn on the car's fog lights, low beams, width indicator lights, and front and rear position lights. At the same time, ensure the speed does not exceed 60 kilometers per hour. When encountering moderate rain, snow, or fog during driving, with road visibility less than 100 meters, in addition to turning on fog lights, low beams, width indicator lights, and front and rear position lights, you should also turn on the hazard warning flashers (double flashers). Also, ensure the speed does not exceed 40 kilometers per hour. When encountering heavy rain, snow, or thick fog during driving, with road visibility less than 50 meters, the safest practice is to avoid driving if possible. However, if conditions do not permit (such as being on a highway or having no parking options nearby), you must turn on all possible lights on the car, including fog lights, low beams, width indicator lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers, but remember not to turn on high beams. Additionally, the driver should ensure the speed is less than 20 kilometers per hour and honk appropriately when unsure about the presence of vehicles or pedestrians ahead or behind, to serve as a warning. Prohibited practices in light usage: Do not use hazard warning lights (double flashers) while driving. The so-called double flashers are hazard warning lights that every car has, with the switch being two interlocking triangles. Double flashers should only be used in very dangerous situations, such as when there is an accident ahead or when you need to temporarily stop on the main road. Generally, we should not use them during normal driving. Misuse of double flashers may convey wrong information to surrounding vehicles, potentially leading to dangerous situations. Avoid using width indicator lights for extended periods. Width indicator lights are not for you to see the road better but for others to see you better. During the gradual changes in rain or snow, it is incorrect to use width indicator lights continuously from start to finish. Instead, you should switch lights reasonably according to the intensity of rain or snow.
