Discussion
Hey folks
Had a wee discussion with my dad about this and we couldnt actually figure out the answer to this. So I know that fog lights should only be used in fog but I frequently use them when driving at night through extremely heavy snow or rain as I find they reflect back far less light than my main beams and improve visibility. Although I tend to leave the back fog light off as it doesnt really serve a purpous in those conditions other than drilling a red dot into the eyes of following traffic.
The only vague thing I could find on gov.uk was Here. Stating that headlights should be used when visibility is below 100m. So on the very slim chance I get a pull would I legally be in the right by using fogs to improve visibility in non-foggy yet adverse conditions?
