Did you know, I have a special feeling about Porsche being called the 'frog car.' It's mainly because of its classic 911 model, with its round, large, and prominent headlights that, when viewed from the front, resemble a crouching frog staring at you. This design has been around since the 1960s, and the designers were actually mimicking the sleek lines of a sports car, unintentionally making people think of a frog. Not just the 911, but Porsche's later 718 series also features similar round headlights, reinforcing this impression. When fans come up with nicknames, they often associate them with the liveliness and agility of a frog, which perfectly matches Porsche's performance feel. Every time I see a 911 drive by, I can't help but think how fitting this nickname is. It's not just about the appearance; it represents a cultural memory.

Where is the rear fog light located on a car?

Car rear fog lights are located on the left side or both sides of the taillights. When driving in adverse weather conditions such as fog, snow, heavy rain, or in smoke-filled environments, front fog lights must be used to illuminate the road ahead and ensure driving safety. The main functions of fog lights are: 1. Front fog lights are used to improve illumination when the road conditions ahead are unclear and to alert oncoming drivers. 2. Rear fog lights help vehicles behind to spot the car in low visibility conditions. The usage of fog lights is as follows: 1. When visibility is between 100 to 200 meters, fog lights, low beams, width indicator lights, and taillights must be turned on, maintaining a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle ahead. 2. When visibility is between 50 to 100 meters, fog lights, low beams, width indicator lights, and taillights should be turned on, keeping a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle ahead.

Why do most cars have only one reverse light?

There are two main reasons why most cars are equipped with only one reverse light: 1. According to relevant regulations in China, if a car is less than 6 meters in length, it must have at least one fog light on the left side and one reverse light on the right side. 2. The purpose of the reverse light is to alert vehicles or pedestrians behind to take caution. Having only one reverse light makes it easier for pedestrians to see, thereby enhancing traffic safety. Here are some tips for reversing: 1. Before getting into the car, observe the environment behind the vehicle, determine the reversing route, and be mindful of obstacles before starting the operation. Reverse slowly to avoid accidents. 2. If the lighting is too dim, you can turn on the rear fog light for additional illumination.
