Is it mandatory to use some type of vehicle lighting when driving in heavy rain?
Lighting
Explanation
To drive in **heavy rain**, it is mandatory to use some type of **vehicle lighting**. This is because visibility conditions are significantly reduced, similar to when there is **little natural light** or when driving on a **dark day**. In these situations, it is essential to turn on the lights to improve visibility and be seen by other drivers.
- **Low beam or dipped headlights** are mandatory in low visibility conditions, such as at night or in tunnels. Although heavy rain is not explicitly mentioned, it can be inferred that these lights are also necessary in such conditions to ensure safety.
- Additionally, general regulations indicate that during the day, if there is little natural light, the vehicle's lights must be turned on. Heavy rain can create an environment similar to a dark day, so it is necessary to turn on the lights.
Therefore, whenever there is **heavy rain**, it is mandatory to use the vehicle's lights to ensure safe driving.
