Hazard and Risk Perception
When driving in fog, which lights should you use?
- ○Full beam headlights to see further ahead
- ✓Dipped headlights and front/rear fog lights when visibility is seriously reduced
- ○Sidelights only, so you do not dazzle oncoming drivers
- ○No lights are needed in daylight fog
Correct answer
Dipped headlights and front/rear fog lights when visibility is seriously reduced
Full beam reflects off fog and reduces visibility. Dipped headlights with fog lights improve your visibility to others without the reflection problem.
