When should you use your headlights?

Using your headlights in any low visibility conditions, including dusk and dawn, is important for safety and visibility on the road. Headlights enhance your ability to see the road and surrounding obstacles, and they also help other drivers see you. During times when natural light is limited, such as at dusk or dawn, visibility can be significantly reduced, making it essential to use headlights to ensure both your safety and that of other road users.

Headlights should not be used solely at night or only during rain; these conditions are just part of a broader requirement to use lights whenever visibility is compromised. Additionally, while it may be appropriate to use parking lights in some situations, standard headlights are necessary to provide adequate visibility in various weather conditions or during twilight hours.
