In France, front fog lights may be used in fog, heavy rain, or snow. Rear fog lights are strictly reserved for dense fog or heavy snowfall when visibility is less than 50 meters, and must be switched off as soon as visibility improves to avoid dazzling other drivers.
On French autoroutes, the speed limit is reduced from 130 km/h to 110 km/h in wet conditions. In very heavy rain with significantly reduced visibility, further speed reduction is necessary to ensure you can stop within your visible distance, regardless of the official limit.
While not always legally mandatory during the day in bright conditions, it is strongly recommended to use dipped headlights (feux de croisement) in situations of strong sun glare. This helps you to see better and, crucially, makes your vehicle more visible to other road users, improving overall safety.
This principle, known as 's'arrêter dans le champ de visibilité', means you must always be able to stop your vehicle within the distance you can clearly see ahead. This is particularly critical in adverse conditions like fog, heavy rain, or at night, where visibility is greatly reduced and speed must be adapted accordingly.
