When driving in fog, you should never use your high beams because:

Oncoming vehicles might not see you.
Vehicles behind you may follow too closely.
The light will reflect back into your eyes.
They improve your vision and help you see the road clearly.
Explanation

Driving in fog demands caution and adapting to limited visibility. Using high beams in fog is discouraged because the light reflects off the moisture particles, creating glare that impairs your vision. This glare not only hampers your ability to see the road clearly but also increases the risk of accidents. When driving in fog, use low beams only. Low beam headlights provide sufficient illumination without causing blinding reflections, ensuring a safer driving experience in challenging weather.
