Having hazard lights on every car certainly has great benefits, but who would have thought that these lights are often misused by some drivers. One of them is the use of hazard lights during heavy rain or foggy road conditions. Of course, Currently, there are still many drivers who deliberately turn on their hazard lights when it is raining or foggy, even though this use is actually wrong and can even be very dangerous.
Hazard lights are when both left and right turn signals are on or flashing at the same time. Hazard lights are also often referred to as emergency lights, However, the emergency conditions referred to here in fact do not include rainy or foggy conditions.
The use of hazard lights when road conditions are rainy or foggy is sometimes intended to make other drivers more careful, However, in fact, using hazard lights can actually confuse other drivers. This is because the function of the turn signal is lost, so that when you want to change direction to the right or left, It will be difficult for other drivers to detect it. This is what often triggers road accidents.
So what should be done for safety when the road conditions are heavy rain or foggy?? During these conditions, You simply turn on the fog lights (fog lamp) or just the main lights so that the lighting will help visibility and be a warning to other drivers.
