Correct answer
- ASí, si el vehículo no dispone de luces antiniebla.Yes, if the vehicle does not have fog lights.
In fog, Article 106.2 of the General Traffic Regulations requires the front fog light or dipped headlights or main beam, so dipped headlights are enough. In thick fog the rear fog light must also be switched on; if the vehicle has no fog lights, sidelights and dipped headlights are enough.
La luz antiniebla trasera solamente deberá llevarse encendida cuando las condiciones meteorológicas o ambientales sean especialmente desfavorables, como en caso de niebla espesa, lluvia muy intensa, fuerte nevada o nubes densas de polvo o humo.Read the full rule
