What is the recommended lighting to use for enhanced visibility when driving in fog?

Using fog lights and low-beam headlights is the recommended lighting for driving in fog because these lights are specifically designed to illuminate the road directly in front of your vehicle without causing glare or reflection off the fog, rain, or snow. Fog lights produce a wide, low beam of light that helps to illuminate the road immediately in front of you and to the sides, allowing for better visibility in low-visibility conditions.

Low-beam headlights also provide a useful amount of illumination without shining too directly into the fog, which can make visibility worse due to reflection. Together, fog lights and low-beam headlights help maintain better vision and contrast with the surroundings while ensuring you do not blind other drivers.

In contrast, high-beam headlights can exacerbate the problem in foggy conditions since their light is directed straight ahead and reflects off water droplets in the fog, creating a blinding effect. Parking lights and turn signals are not adequate for driving in fog; they do not provide sufficient illumination for the driver to see the road clearly or for other drivers to see your vehicle effectively.
