Correct answer

  • BSí, pero solo en condiciones atmosféricas especialmente desfavorables.Yes, but only in particularly bad weather conditions.
Explanation

The rear fog light may be used day or night, but under Article 106.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) only in particularly bad conditions, such as thick fog, very heavy rain, heavy snowfall or dense clouds of dust or smoke. In good weather or light fog it dazzles, and switching it on is prohibited.
