The Minister said that motor vehieles might, in addition to the two head1 lights, be equipped with one foglamp, but that should be used onlv in the dipped position with the two sidelights when the headlights were extinguisheu. {'It is not permissible to use a foglamp together with the headlights,' ' said the Minister.
