Which of the following lights are you allowed to use when you are driving a passenger car during a fog?

Description

Art. 30 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997, Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws 2012, item 1137, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Front fog lights.

In conditions of reduced air transparency caused by fog or precipitation, the driver may use the front fog lights. They must always be used together with dipped headlights. Using main beam ('full beam') lights in fog is a mistake, as they reflect off the water particles and can dazzle the driver.
