When should you use your headlights?

Using your headlights in poor weather conditions, at night, or whenever visibility is reduced is essential for safe driving. Headlights enhance your visibility to other drivers and allow you to see the road and potential hazards more clearly.

Driving at night poses challenges, as natural light is limited, making it difficult to see road signs, pedestrians, and other cars unless headlights are used. In poor weather conditions, such as rain, fog, or snow, visibility can be further compromised, making it necessary to turn on headlights to ensure that other motorists can see you and that you can see the road ahead.

While headlights are important at all times of the day for maximum safety, there are specific legal requirements and safety recommendations regarding their use during adverse conditions and at night. This practice helps prevent accidents and fosters a safer driving environment for everyone on the road.
