Nowadays, it is common to abuse lights when driving on the road. The abuse of lights is very harmful and may affect the driving safety of fellow vehicles. Especially in some bad weather, vehicle lights must be used more cautiously. If you encounter heavy fog and heavy rain on the highway, should you turn on the fog lights or double flashers? How to turn on the fog lights? Here is a detailed analysis. Lighting may be dangerous if not used properly. ,
Whether a vehicle is driving on the highway with fog lights or double flashers on, the purpose is to remind the vehicle behind it of the vehicle behind it and to alert the vehicle's position and dynamics. The effects of turning on fog lights and turning on double flashers in foggy and rainy days are completely different.
01
Fog lights are more penetrating and more eye-catching
Friends, look at the picture below. This is a situation where only the fog lights are turned on in foggy weather. We can see that the vehicle with the red light in front of the picture has its fog lights on and does not have double flashers on. Among them, you can see that after the front car turns on its fog lights, its body outline is more obvious, and you can see eye-catching lights. And the position of the vehicle can be clearly seen from a distance.
Look at the picture below. The vehicle with yellow light has double flashers on but no fog lights. Among them, when we look at the light from the rear vehicle perspective, it is much darker than the fog light and is not that conspicuous. In addition, the double flash has a dynamic mode of flickering on and off, making it even harder to detect.
This is because the vehicle's fog lights use red lights, while the double flashers use yellow lights. The wavelength of red light is much larger than the wavelength of yellow light. In heavy rain or foggy weather, the longer the wavelength of the light, the stronger its penetrating ability. Therefore, the red light of fog lights has stronger penetrating power. In addition, the brightness of the fog lamp is brighter than that of the double flash. If used as a tail light, it can better remind the vehicle behind to find the location of its own body. Therefore, when driving on the highway and encountering heavy rain or fog, you should give priority to turning on the fog lights.
02
Double flashing lights are mainly used for traffic accidents and emergency emergencies
We all know that if a vehicle breaks down or a traffic accident occurs, it is necessary to turn on the double flashers and pull over in time. The same is true when driving on the highway. If there is no malfunction during heavy rain or fog, and everyone turns on the double flashers casually, it will be difficult for cars coming from behind to tell which side is parking? Which party had the accident? Which side is driving normally? This increases the risk of a rear-end collision. Therefore, it is recommended that when driving in heavy fog and rainy weather, you can turn on the fog lights if you can, and try not to turn on the double flash. Leave the authority to activate the double flashers to those drivers who really have an accident or need to make an emergency stop.

How to turn on fog lights
Almost anyone who has passed the driver's license test can drive double flashing lights, but many drivers don't know how to drive fog lights, and many vehicles today have different ways of turning on fog lights. Most vehicle fog light switches are located at this position on the headlight lever, as shown in the picture below. The three wavy lines pointing to the right are the rear fog lights, and the three wavy lines facing forward are the front fog lights. Some of these vehicles may not have front fog lights, but rear fog lights are definitely standard. And there are some fog lights, so you need to turn the switch to the direction indicated by the fog light and then pull it out to turn on the fog light.
Therefore, when driving on the highway and encountering heavy fog and heavy rain, you should give priority to turning on the fog lights. Its warning effect is better than double flash. We cannot hold on to the concept that the more lights the better, and the more lights we turn on, the safer it is. The result may be just the opposite. Some traffic accidents are caused by misuse of lights. Encourage everyone to use lights correctly and rationally to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
