Correct answer
- BLas antiniebla traseras y corto alcance.Rear fog lights and dipped headlights.
FRONT FOG LIGHT: - Fitting and using it is NOT compulsory. - It is white or selective yellow. - It may be used, if you choose, in fog, heavy rain, snowfall, clouds of smoke or dust, or in similar conditions. - It may also be used on narrow roads with many bends, that is, roads with a carriageway 6.5 m wide or less that are marked with 'dangerous bends' signs. REAR FOG LIGHT: - Fitting and using it is compulsory. - It is red. - It must be used in THICK fog, VERY heavy rain, HEAVY snowfall or DENSE clouds of smoke or dust. In this question, as the fog is thick, we must have the rear fog light and dipped headlights on. As fitting the front fog light is optional, using it is optional too.
