While fog lights are designed to enhance road visibility during poor weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, or haze, their misuse has become a growing concern among road users.

Installed lower on the front of vehicles, fog lights emit a strong beam intended to help drivers see better in limited visibility. However, when used inappropriately, such as during clear, sunny weatherthey can pose more of a hazard than a help.

This was highlighted in a recent TikTok post by user @yukieamal, who voiced her frustration after being blinded by a vehicle behind her that had its fog lights switched on unnecessarily during the day. The woman recorded a video of the car and shared it on social media, questioning the rationale behind using fog lights in good weather.

"I don't understand. If it's not raining or hazy, there's no need to use fog lights," she captioned her video.

Her post quickly drew attention, with many netizens echoing her sentiments. The comments section was filled with similar complaints from others who had also encountered drivers misusing fog lights, calling it not just annoying but dangerous as well.

Several users pointed out that these overly bright lights can hinder the vision of other drivers, particularly at night or in clear daylight when such lighting is unnecessary. Others expressed their hope for stricter enforcement or greater awareness about when fog lights should and shouldn't be used.

While fog lights are an important safety feature, it's clear that proper usage is key to ensuring they benefit rather than endanger other road users.
