Old drivers pay attention here to popularize a very important knowledge point! Australia has a traffic regulation that we usually extremely easy to ignore, not careful not to notice you may be fined more than 200 dollars!
We know that most cars have four types of light settings-standard, high-light, fog and near-light, adjusted by the lever behind the steering wheel. If you set these items wrong, they are illegal!
A front fog light (unlike a high-light) is a horizontal beam of light projected downward below the headlight, which reduces the reflection of light in a foggy day.
The new state transportation department said:
If this light is turned on under normal driving conditions, it may result in a blind area of vision or irritation to the eyes of the oncoming driver.
Therefore, drivers should not use any lights that affect other road users. Drivers are only allowed to use fog lights in such weather conditions as fog or low visibility.
The laws of Australia's states and territories state that misusing fog lamps is a violation and is liable to a fine of A $50 to A $233.
On most car dashboards, there are icons showing which light setting the car is using. If you are a rookie, still uncertain, you can set up after parking, or catch the fine money is a small matter, because fog lights affect the driving safety of the opposite driver is a big deal.
Penalties and regulations for the use of fog lamps in Australia
New state: a fine of $110, deducted by two points.
Victoria: fine A $155, no points deducted.
Kunzhou: a fine of A $50, one point deducted.
South Australia: a fine of A $233, no points deducted.
Western Australia: a fine of A $100, deducted by one point.
Tazhou: a fine of A $119, no points deducted.
Capital Territory: a fine of A $193, no points deducted.

Once again remind drivers friends, pay attention, especially the old drivers in the new state cute, driving must not forget to check the setting of the lights oh!
If you encounter extreme weather, remember to choose the correct lighting settings and travel again!
