Is it permitted to switch on fog lights while driving on urban roads if visibility conditions are normal?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 'No'. Fog lights, due to their high intensity, are designed exclusively for situations where visibility is reduced (fog, heavy rain, snow, clouds of smoke, or dust). Using these lights under normal visibility conditions is prohibited on both urban (town) and interurban roads, as it causes dangerous glare for other road users. The weight of the vehicle (more or less than 3,500 kg) does not influence this prohibition; the rule applies generally to all drivers.
