If you are driving in heavy snowfall, which lighting are you obliged to switch on to be seen by vehicles following you?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In heavy snowfall conditions, visibility is significantly reduced. Therefore, it is mandatory to switch on the rear fog light (one or two high-intensity red lights) so that vehicles driving behind can perceive your position and avoid rear-end collisions. Front fog lights are optional in this case. You should not use hazard warning lights for continuous driving, as their use is restricted to stops or immediate danger situations, nor should you keep the brake pedal pressed, as this would confuse other drivers regarding your intentions.
