Correct answer

  • ACuando las condiciones meteorológicas o ambientales sean especialmente desfavorables.When weather or environmental conditions are especially unfavourable.
Explanation

Under Article 106.2 of the RGC, the rear fog light is only used in especially unfavourable conditions, such as thick fog, very heavy rain, heavy snowfall or dense clouds of dust or smoke. If visibility is only reduced, dipped headlights, main beam or the front fog lights are enough.
