AutoExec Summary
Using fog lights at the wrong time can result in fines of up to $400 and demerit points. The Australian Road Rules state that fog lights should only be used in hazardous weather conditions like fog, dust, or rain. Failure to comply can lead to penalties in each state and territory, ranging from $61 in Queensland to $593 in Victoria. In Western Australia, it’s illegal to use headlights and fog lights simultaneously. To avoid fines, drivers must be aware of when to use fog lights and how to operate them correctly, as indicated by the specific rules in each region.
