KNOW THE DIFFERENT LIGHTS ON YOUR CAR


Your car consists of different lights having different purposes.


It's important to be aware of all the lights on your car.


Daytime running lights are designed to make you more visible to other drivers.


Generally, these lights turn on automatically when you start the engine.


Low beams headlights give enough light to show you the road without excessive glare.


Low beams are essential when driving at night.


Full beam headlights help the driver to see the road in the dark.


They give an intense, center-weighted distribution of light with a lot of glare.


Fog lights are flat and wide beam shape, are usually placed near the front bumper.


The beam's shape cuts through the fog to light up the surface of the road.


Taillights are the red lights on the rear of your car that turn on along with the headlights.


They let drivers coming up behind you know that you're there and how far ahead you are.


Signal lights or indicators, are located at the front and back of the car.


They are used to let other drivers know you are planning to turn.


The brake lights tell other drivers that you're slowing down or stopping.


They only turn on when you apply the brakes.


The signal lights are also used as hazard lights, also known as flashers.


They flash to warn other drivers of distress or traffic problems.


These lights are useful for checking a map or directions or to find something in the dark.


They shouldn't be used when driving as they can distract the driver.
