When driving in fog, what lights should you use?

Using low beam headlights while driving in fog is essential for maintaining visibility and safety. High beam headlights can cause the light to reflect off the fog, rain, or snow, creating a glare that makes it harder to see the road and reduces visibility even further. Low beams, on the other hand, are designed to illuminate the road immediately in front of the vehicle without causing excessive reflection. This allows drivers to see better and helps ensure that their vehicle is visible to others on the road.

Parking lights and hazard lights are not suitable for driving conditions, especially in fog. Parking lights are meant for stationary vehicles and do not provide adequate lighting for driving. Hazard lights indicate that a vehicle is stopped or experiencing problems, which can confuse other drivers in foggy conditions and create unsafe situations. Therefore, low beam headlights are the appropriate choice for safe driving in fog.
