Which Lights to Use in Heavy Fog?
1 Answers
In heavy fog, you should turn on the fog lights. If visibility is extremely low, you should also activate the hazard warning flashers. Driving in foggy conditions significantly reduces visibility and limits the driver's line of sight. Fog lights have strong light penetration, which can enhance visibility for both the driver and other road users, allowing approaching vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance. Fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are typically a bright yellow color, while rear fog lights are red. The symbol for front fog lights features downward light beams, whereas the rear fog light symbol shows parallel beams. In foggy weather, both front and rear fog lights are usually used together. Fog lights are highly bright and penetrating, and they do not cause diffuse reflection due to fog. Therefore, using them correctly can effectively prevent accidents.
