Do you know what a rear fog light is? It can greatly hinder visibility in everyday life. Don't get confused: we have absolutely nothing against using front fog lights of the vehicle in situations where there is no fog, -even though they were developed for this purpose-, as they help to light the roads.

we are talking about rear fog light. You know the one that has the same intensity as the brake light, but stays on constantly?

This flashlight, which is usually turned on by pulling the “second step” of the fog light button, was developed for extremely dense fog/mist situations (there are also those who advocate [us, for example] its use in situations of intense rain ), but many drivers use it for the simple aesthetic reason, not taking into account the inconvenience of other drivers.

Use caution when using rear fog lamps

The rear fog light is used to help in adverse conditions (rain and fog), so its intensity is similar to that of the brake light. This means that it cannot (and should not) remain turned on without such weather conditions being present.

When this occurs, vehicles behind end up being greatly harmed by the intense light and it gets worse when it is drizzling or lightly raining (without fog), with the refraction of light in raindrops and water spray that rises from the asphalt. , whoever goes behind is practically without vision.

How to identify if the rear fog light is on

In the image below, we show how the fog light is identified on the vehicle's instrument panel: yellow and very striking. Remember the traffic lights, where yellow represents attention.
