Difficulty: EasyAdjusting Margins in Fog and High Winds

Under The Highway Code, drivers must only use front or rear fog lights when visibility is seriously reduced to 100 metres (328 feet) or less.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
According to The Highway Code Rule 226, you must not use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced to 100 metres (328 feet) or less, and you must switch them off when visibility improves.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the statutory visibility threshold required to operate vehicle fog lights.
The Highway Code Rule 226 sets this threshold at 100 metres (328 feet) or less.
Operating fog lights in higher visibility causes dazzle to oncoming drivers and obscures rear brake lights.
2
Compare the statement with the rule.
The statement accurately reflects the 100-metre regulation.
The regulatory distance and condition match the legal requirement.

Key Concept

The Highway Code Rule 226 defines seriously reduced visibility as 100 metres (328 feet) or less for the lawful use of fog lights.
