Which headlights should you use when it is snowing or raining?

  1. High beams

  2. Low beams

  3. Fog lights

  4. Parking lights

The correct answer is: Low beams

When driving in snowy or rainy conditions, it is essential to maintain optimal visibility while also ensuring that other drivers can see your vehicle clearly. Using low beams is the correct choice in inclement weather for several reasons. High beams can reflect off the precipitation particles and create glare, reducing visibility for both the driver and other vehicles on the road. Fog lights are intended for use in foggy conditions and can be too bright and produce glare when used in rain or snow. Parking lights, on the other hand, do not provide enough illumination for safe driving in low-visibility conditions. Therefore, using low beams is the safest and most effective option when driving in snow or rain.
