Headlights should be turned on in which conditions?

Headlights should be turned on in which conditions?

• A. Only in daylight.
• B. In low light, at night, and in poor visibility.
• C. Only when driving on highways.
• D. Never.

Answer: (B)

Headlights should be used whenever visibility is reduced so you and others can see clearly. This includes low light conditions such as dawn, dusk, or overcast days; at night; and whenever weather or road conditions limit visibility like rain, fog, snow, or heavy mist. Turning on headlights in these situations helps you see the road and helps other drivers spot your vehicle, reducing the risk of a crash. Choosing to use headlights only in daylight would leave you less visible when light is fading or weather is poor, and using them only on highways misses the use of headlights in trees, residential streets, or urban roads where visibility is still limited. Never using headlights is unsafe in any condition where you can’t see clearly or be seen.
