CDifficulty 3/5

Fog significantly reduces visibility. In addition to the compulsory position lights, may you use dipped headlights without switching on the front fog lights?

Correct answer

Yes, without front fog lights or together with them, while keeping position lights on.

Yes. Where visibility is significantly reduced, Article 106 allows front fog lights or dipped/main-beam headlights, subject to their conditions of use and without dazzling. Dipped headlights may be used without front fog lights or together with them; “without fog lights” does not mean switching off compulsory position lights. Rear fog lights must only be used in especially adverse conditions, such as dense fog, very heavy rain or heavy snowfall.
