What Lights to Use When Driving in the Rain?

[Brayden]

Lights to turn on when driving in the rain: For light to moderate rain, turn on the low beam; for heavy rain, use the low beam and front fog lights; for torrential rain, use the low beam along with front and rear fog lights. Precautions for driving in the rain: 1. Regardless of road width or condition, slow down when driving in the rain, pay attention to vehicles in front and behind, and be prepared to take emergency measures if necessary; 2. Reduced visibility during rainy conditions requires maintaining a safe distance between vehicles, constantly monitoring the distance to the cars ahead and behind, and increasing the following distance; 3. Be mindful of pedestrians, slow down, and patiently yield to them. If necessary, choose a safe spot to stop instead of rushing past pedestrians and bicycles; 4. During heavy or torrential rain, some road sections may quickly accumulate deep water. If you must drive through water, do so at a steady speed using a low gear. If the vehicle stalls while moving, do not attempt to restart it immediately, as doing so recklessly may cause severe engine damage. Instead, promptly contact a professional repair shop. Only after a technician has inspected the vehicle on-site and confirmed it is safe should you attempt to restart it.
