Question 260 in the bank

When is it permitted to turn on the “fog lights”?

  1. Only while driving freeways.
  2. Only when it is raining.
  3. Only while driving in reverse.
  4. Correct answer: In case of fog, heavy rain and snow only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: In case of fog, heavy rain and snow only.

Fog lights are meant only for conditions where visibility is seriously reduced: fog, heavy rain or snow. In normal weather, or in light rain, their strong beam can dazzle other drivers, so they must not be used. Driving on a freeway or reversing is not a reason to switch them on.

Topic: Rules and regulations. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Heavy truck (C), Bus (D), Private car (B).
