Are you obliged to switch off your rear fog lights if visibility is more than 50 m?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo we see the back of a tram with the rear fog lights switched on. You have to switch off the rear fog lights if visibility is more than 50 m - the answer is YES.
Rear fog lights may be used when reduced visibility limits the view to a distance of less than 50 m. When visibility improves, the driver must switch them off immediately. In good visibility they are very bright and dazzle drivers behind the tram, and they can also mask the brake lights. The rear fog light is much brighter than ordinary sidelights (position lights), so in good visibility it misleads others.
