Hazard awareness

You switched on your rear fog lights in thick fog. The fog has now cleared. What must you do?

Leave them on for the rest of the journey
Use them only on the motorway
Switch them off, as they can dazzle drivers behind
Correct
Switch to full beam instead

Why?

Rule 236 of The Highway Code says you must switch off fog lights when visibility improves, because bright rear fog lights can dazzle following drivers and be mistaken for brake lights.
