The rule may seem minor but it comes with a £50 fine and is potentially very dangerous if not adhered to
UK drivers are being warned they could face a £50 fine if they fail to adhere to a major safety rule over the next few months. Motorists across the country should be cautious when it comes to using their fog lights because using them incorrectly could lead to a financial penalty. Fog lights play a crucial role in ensuring safe driving during poor visibility, meaning it is important to get it right.
That's why the Highway Code has clear rules on when to use them – and why failing to follow those rules can result in fines.' The Highway Code’s Rule 236 clearly states, 'You must not use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced.' Despite the clarity of this rule, the organisation said some drivers may still leave their fog lights on during light drizzle or clear conditions, oblivious to the potential danger this could pose to other road users.
