Correct answer

  • CNo.No.
Explanation

The rear fog light is only switched on in especially unfavourable conditions: thick fog, very heavy rain, heavy snowfall or dense clouds of dust or smoke (Article 106.2 of the General Traffic Regulations). In heavy rain, dipped headlights, main beam or the front fog light are enough.
