Is it advisable to use high beam headlights in foggy conditions?
Lighting
Explanation
To drive safely in **foggy** conditions, it is important to follow certain recommendations. Fog reduces visibility and makes the ground wet, which decreases tire grip. Therefore, it is advised to:
- **Turn on the dipped headlights and fog lights**. These lights are designed to improve visibility in foggy conditions without causing glare.
- **Drive slowly** and maintain a **large safety distance** from other vehicles.
- **Pay attention to road signs and markings** and avoid overtaking unless necessary.

**High beam headlights**, although allowed, are not recommended in foggy conditions. These lights are useful on poorly lit roads outside urban areas, but in foggy conditions, they can reflect off the water particles suspended in the air, creating a glare effect that further reduces visibility. Therefore, although it is not prohibited to use them, it is better to avoid them to prevent worsening visibility.
