If you are driving with your low-beam lights turned on in heavy rain limiting visibility, can you also use the front anti-fog lights?

Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, you can see a green warning light with a headlight symbol and a wavy line crossed by diagonal rays - this is the front fog light indicator. When driving with dipped headlights on in heavy rain that limits visibility, you are allowed to also use front fog lights. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires you, in reduced visibility caused by fog, precipitation or other causes, to exercise particular caution and to switch on dipped headlights or front fog lights, or both at the same time. A downpour is exactly this kind of precipitation. Front fog lights shine low and wide, so they show the edge of the roadway better in pouring rain. You remember to switch them off when the rain stops, because then they only dazzle others.
