When are headlights required during the day?

Headlights are required during the day when visibility is poor due to weather conditions such as rain, fog, or snow. This regulation is in place to ensure that you can see the road clearly and that other drivers can see you. Poor visibility conditions can make it difficult to see other vehicles, pedestrians, and road signs, increasing the risk of accidents. By using your headlights during these times, you enhance your vehicle’s visibility, contributing to safer driving for everyone on the road.

The other circumstances, such as driving on rural roads or construction zones, may necessitate caution but do not have specific laws requiring the use of headlights during daylight. Similarly, headlights are traditionally associated with night driving; however, the need for them extends to daytime conditions where visibility is compromised.
