Traffic safety experts advise drivers, in rainy weather conditions, not to use fog lights (front or rear) in daylight hours, for several adverse effects affecting the vehicle, and overall road safety.

Dr. Mustafa Khader Al-Dah, a traffic safety researcher, told Emirates Today that there are conditions for the use of fog lights, both day and night, and summarizes them in the following two points:

First: The engineering of the car depends heavily on the use, and in the cold countries in Europe, and parts of America, many vehicles are designed with special conditions for the use of fog lights on some days of the year, and not throughout the year, the design of these lights for temporary use in contrast to the main car lights The use of fog lights constantly leads to damage and sometimes melt the luminaire from high temperature, and various electrical malfunctions may affect other car systems, note that countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom, prohibit the use of fog lighting, unless the horizontal field of view below 50 or 100 meters , Must Sufficient use of the lights of the main vehicle in these cases.

The use of these lights without the need for high fuel consumption, as well as at a time when the price of fuel is constantly increasing, because the car uses the internal combustion of fuel to produce electricity, and the operation of the lights unnecessarily lead to the waste of energy unjustified.

Second: the impact on others .. To achieve the fog lights (especially the background) fully play its role in cases of heavy fog and snow storms and the like of bad weather conditions, they radiate stronger light than ordinary lights with high concentration, which leads to harm the eyes of other drivers if the weather is right, The driver of the fog lights may get his share of prayers from other motorists either because of his ignorance of the impact of his actions on others, or his selfishness and indifference.
