🚗✨ Don’t Let a Common Mistake Cost You £1,000! 🚨
Listen up, drivers! With winter just around the corner, it’s time to brush up on your fog light etiquette to avoid a hefty fine this season. The RAC has highlighted a simple error that could hit your wallet hard if you’re not careful!
Here’s the scoop:
1️⃣ **Proper Usage**: Your fog lights are NOT for everyday use. They should only be switched on when visibility drops below 100 metres – think the length of a football pitch.
2️⃣ **Visibility Check**: Only turn on those fog lights when visibility is severely compromised, like in dense fog. Turn them off as soon as it clears to keep other drivers safe and avoid dazzling them.
3️⃣ **Headlights Matter**: Always pair fog lights with your regular headlights, not high beams. Remember, fog lights are an addition, not a substitute!
4️⃣ **Nighttime Woes**: Misused lights are a major nighttime driving concern. In fact, one in four drivers says they avoid night driving due to headlight glare. Let’s change that!
5️⃣ **Stay Informed**: Understanding and properly using your car’s light settings isn’t just about safety—it’s about steering clear of penalties too.
Stay safe and keep those fog lights in check this winter! Let’s avoid those fines and make the roads a better place for everyone. 🌫️✨
