When are headlights required to be used?

Headlights are required to be used from sunset to sunrise and in conditions where visibility is less than 500 feet due to factors such as rain, fog, snow, or dust. This requirement ensures that drivers can see the road clearly and that they are visible to other road users, which enhances safety. During the night, the lack of natural light means that headlights are essential for illuminating the path ahead. Similarly, in low visibility conditions, headlights help other drivers and pedestrians to see your vehicle, reducing the risk of accidents. This regulation is designed to promote safe driving practices under various environmental conditions where visibility can be compromised.
