Show answer
Correct answer
- ALuces de corto alcanceDipped headlights
Explanation
The best lights in fog are dipped headlights, because main beam not only does not help us see the road better, but can even make things worse. This is because such strong light reflects off the fog itself, making the already poor visibility even worse. We can also bother or dazzle other drivers.
