Question 1774 in the bank

When is it permitted to turn on the fog lights?

  1. Only in the dark.
  2. Correct answer: Only in a condition of pouring rain, fog or snow.
  3. Only during the winter.
  4. Whenever the driver deems it fit.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Only in a condition of pouring rain, fog or snow.

Fog lights are meant to improve visibility and make the vehicle easier to see only when visibility is severely reduced, such as in pouring rain, fog or snow. In normal conditions, even at night or in winter, they can dazzle other drivers, so they must not be used. It is not left to the driver's personal judgement; the weather conditions decide.
