Why should lights turn on when going in the rain?

Currently it is the rainy season and the movement in the rain is often accompanied by many dangers. Because besides slippery, we also face a problem of limited vision. A fact that very few of us turn on lights when driving under the rain, unless the car has an automatic light system. This is a risky habit.

The reason why, please review the animated GIF above. We will easily locate cars going in the opposite direction with the headlights turned on from a distance of 500m or more thanks to the glare. Meanwhile, we only know that a passenger car does not turn on the light from a distance of about 100m. And this is quite unexpected. If we put it in case we are overtaking another vehicle and this passenger car suddenly appears, it will be difficult to handle it in such a distance.

Today's car makers are equipped with light bulbs, or positioning lights (positioning light) . Using the dimmer is to help vehicles in the opposite direction more easily locate our car when walking in the dark or rainy weather.

In heavy rain conditions, we should incorporate both the near headlights (fog lights) and fog lights to increase the visibility of the vehicle in the opposite direction . This is a safe driving experience not only for car drivers but also those who ride motorcycles.
