You travel along a through-road section in a built-up area with good visibility, without fog, heavy rain, snow, smoke or dust. It is not a narrow section with many bends signed as such either. May you keep fog lights on merely because you are on that road section?

Correct answer

No, none of the conditions permitting their use applies.

No. These conditions do not provide a permitted reason to use fog lights. A through-road section does not imply an absolute prohibition: front fog lights may be used when visibility is significantly reduced by the specified conditions, or on a road no wider than 6.50 metres with many signed bends. Rear fog lights must only be used in especially adverse conditions, such as dense fog or very heavy rain. Good visibility alone does not authorise those lights.
