As winter sets in, make sure you’re using your fog lights at the right times to avoid a hefty £1,000 fine and three penalty points on your licence! 🌫️👀 According to the DVSA, fog lights should only be used when visibility is less than 100m. However, a recent eBay survey reveals that 60% of drivers are switching them on at the wrong times, and over 10% are using them when visibility is more than 300m. 🤔

And it’s not just fog lights! Headlight misuse is on the rise, with nearly half of drivers admitting to using full beams at night, regardless of oncoming traffic. RAC’s Rod Dennis highlights the double-edged sword: while brighter headlights improve visibility, they can also cause glare and discomfort for others on the road. A balance is key! 🌟🤦‍♂️

Stay safe, be considerate, and drive smart this winter! 🚗✨
