Are you allowed to drive on an interurban road with high beam headlights in heavy rain or dense fog?
Lighting
Explanation
**High beam headlights** or **road lights** are mainly used on **roads outside towns or cities** and are mandatory in conditions of **low natural light** or in **poorly lit tunnels**. However, their use in conditions of **heavy rain or dense fog** is not recommended. This is because the **reflection of light** on raindrops or fog can cause **glare**, which could temporarily blind the driver and impair visibility.
Therefore, although technically high beam headlights can be used in these conditions, it is better to avoid them to not compromise driving safety.
