Under what conditions should you always use your low beams?

In heavy traffic
Near construction zones
When it is raining
When you are driving in foggy weather

The correct answer is: When you are driving in foggy weather

You should always use your low beams when driving in foggy weather because they provide better visibility and reduce glare. Using high beams can actually reflect off of the fog and impair your visibility further. Using low beams in this situation can help prevent accidents. While low beams may also be beneficial in heavy traffic, near construction zones, and when it is raining, these conditions do not require the use of low beams as a safety measure like driving in foggy weather does.
