When driving in dark or foggy weather, what should you use to ensure you can be seen by other drivers?

Low-beam lights
High-beam lights
Automatic headlights
Fog lights

The correct answer is: Fog lights

Using low-beam lights or high-beam lights in dark or foggy weather can actually decrease visibility for yourself and other drivers. Low-beam lights are designed for normal driving conditions and can cause glare in fog, while high-beam lights can reflect off the fog, making it even harder to see. Automatic headlights are not enough to ensure visibility in foggy weather as they are meant for detecting low light conditions, not inclement weather. This makes fog lights, which are specifically designed to cut through fog and improve visibility, the best option for ensuring you can be seen by other drivers in dark or foggy weather.
