Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When visibility is significantly reduced by fog, heavy rain, snowfall, or clouds of smoke or dust, the General Traffic Regulations (Article 106) require lighting to be used and allow it to be done with the front fog light or with the low or high beam. The low beam may be used on its own and also together with the front fog light, which may be used on its own or simultaneously with the low beam and even with the high beam. It is not true that the low beam must always go with the rear fog light: the latter must be kept on only when conditions are especially unfavorable (thick fog, very heavy rain, heavy snowfall or dense clouds of dust or smoke). Nor is it true that the front fog light is excluded together with the low beam, which is precisely the usual combination.
