• How not to get a fine, driving a car in the rain

Practice shows that quite a lot of law-abiding drivers who want to be, if not exemplary, is at least good, forget about the intricacies of individual behavior on the road. For example, many motorists lose sight of that driving in the rain may lead to an unexpected production of a fine from the traffic police. What is it doing wrong?

First of all, many drivers forget that the fog lights, which are often used in the rain, in addition to the low beam, it is possible to use not always. This applies particularly to the rear lights. The fact is that on the road and without good visibility in the summer. Many drivers somehow perceive rain (albeit not unreasonably) for such a significant reduction in visibility that can use the already mentioned lights. However, here it is necessary to turn to articles and paragraphs of the rules.

Paragraph 19.3 of Traffic regulations of the Russian Federation said that the low-beam headlamps, fog lamps and rear fog lights may be included in addition to the position lamps only in conditions of poor visibility on unlit roads.

Paragraph 19.4 of the SDA RF shows that the fog lamps can be used: in conditions of poor visibility with the near or distant light, as well as at night on unlit road sections together with the near or distant headlights.

Note: Violation of rules of use of the vehicle lighting equipment punishable by a fine of 500 rubles.

In addition, paragraph 19.5 of traffic rules of the Russian Federation said that in the daytime should include low-beam headlamps or daytime running lights on all moving machines. It is obvious that, in accordance with the rules of the front fog lamps can be, but not necessarily included in the majority of situations. In this paragraph 19.7 SDA brings the Russian Federation that the rear fog lamps can only be used in conditions of poor visibility. The same paragraph states that the back of the appliance can not be connected to the brake lights.

Important: It should be noted separately that involve the driver in the administrative responsibility of traffic police officers during a rain can also not included for the parking lights in daytime in conditions of poor visibility, as well as not included passing light at night.
