SHED SOME LIGHT When should you use your fog lights, which symbol is it in your car and how do you turn on front and rear lights?

When should you use your fog lights?

Fog lights are deigned to increase visibility and make driving in adverse weather conditions safer.

They are only for when mist causes visibility to drop below 100m - roughly the length of a football pitch.

If you don't switch on your headlights under these conditions you could risk the safety of yourself or other road users.

If you are involved in an accident during a fog and you didn't have your fog lights on it could mean that your insurance is invalid.


 

How do you turn on your front and rear fog lights?

Every car is different, so you'll need to check your manual to be sure you know how to switch on your fog lights.

But in general, you would start by switching on your headlights as normal.

Then locate the fog light symbol - which may be on the indicator stalk with the other light functions.
