When can we use special relativity?

When no, or at the most only weak, gravitational fields are present.


I'd like to have some comments on this.

But I think the simple answer is that we can use special relativity as
long as no force fields are involved.

No - eg it can be used when EM fields are present.

Thanks

Any comments?
