Correct answer

  • ASí.Yes.
Explanation

Under Article 106.2 of the RGC, the rear fog light must be switched on in especially unfavourable conditions, such as thick fog, very heavy rain, heavy snowfall or dense clouds of dust or smoke. It is not used in moderate rain or drizzle, because it dazzles those driving behind.
