Is it compulsory to use some form of vehicle lighting when driving in heavy rain?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes, when rain substantially reduces visibility, use the lighting prescribed for those conditions, including by day. Front fog lights, dipped headlights or main beam without dazzling may be used as appropriate; front fog lights are not compulsory in every case. Rear fog lights are only used in especially adverse conditions, such as very heavy rain. Also adapt speed and following distance.
