What Lights to Use When Driving in Fog?

When driving in fog, it is necessary to turn on the fog lights. Precautions for driving in heavy fog: 1. The appropriate lights must be turned on. Because visibility is poor when driving in fog, it is difficult to see the vehicles ahead without turning on the lights, which can easily lead to rear-end collisions or crashes. Extra caution is needed, especially in turning areas. According to relevant safety regulations, when driving in heavy fog, you should turn on the fog lights, hazard warning flashers, and low beams. Additionally, in foggy, rainy, or snowy weather, you should also turn on the low beams, clearance lights, and rear position lights. 2. Use the horn appropriately when driving in fog. Sometimes visibility is extremely poor, so in dangerous areas, honking the horn briefly can alert vehicles or pedestrians ahead to be cautious. Of course, avoid continuous honking to prevent noise pollution. 3. Slow down. Because distant vehicles are hard to see in foggy conditions, driving too fast may not leave enough time to brake if a vehicle suddenly appears. Also, maintain a safe following distance. In heavy fog, even the car directly ahead may be hard to see, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions.
