However, should you turn on the fog lights or the dual flashlights? Wrong decisions can be dangerous. This article will explore this issue and help drivers make the right decisions in emergency situations.
First, we need to understand the purpose of fog lights and double flashlights. Fog lights are lighting devices used to improve the visibility of vehicles in bad weather such as fog, haze, snow, etc. They are usually located at the front and rear of the vehicle. The double flashing lights are a kind of warning lights that are turned on in emergency situations. They can remind other vehicles to pay attention to the vehicle. They are usually located on both sides of the vehicle.
In heavy rain, the driver should first turn on the fog lights. Because the visibility of fog lights is higher than that of dual flash lights, they can better remind other vehicles of their presence and reduce the risk of accidents. In addition, according to the provisions of my country's Road Traffic Safety Law, motor vehicles should turn on their fog lights and hazard warning flashers when encountering bad weather such as fog, haze, snow, etc.
So, under what circumstances should you turn on the double flash? Double flashing lights should be used when the vehicle encounters an emergency or needs to stop temporarily. For example, when a vehicle breaks down or an accident occurs and requires emergency evacuation from the scene, the double flashing lights should be turned on immediately. In addition, if the vehicle cannot continue driving during heavy rain, the vehicle should be parked at an emergency parking strip or a safe area on the roadside, and then turn on the double flashers. Doing so reminds other drivers to pay attention and keep a safe distance.
