Are you allowed to drive with daytime running lights switched on in these weather conditions?

Description

Art. 30 para. 1 pt. 1 lit. a and 51 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, consolidated text with subsequent amendments)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

No, because daytime running lights may only be used from dawn to dusk in conditions of normal air transparency. The downpour visible in the picture significantly reduces visibility. In such conditions, you must switch on dipped headlights, in accordance with Art. 51 of the Road Traffic Act.
