When should you turn on your headlights?

When should you turn on your headlights?

• A. In low visibility, at dusk/dawn, and whenever required by conditions.
• B. Only at night.
• C. Only if it is raining.
• D. Only when driving on the highway.

Answer: (A)

Turn on headlights whenever visibility is reduced or conditions require it. This includes low-light times like dusk or dawn, as well as during weather that makes it harder for others to see you (rain, fog, snow, etc.). Using headlights helps you see the road and makes you more visible to others, reducing the chance of a crash. The other ideas are too narrow: headlights aren’t only for nighttime, only for rain, or only on highways. There are many situations—early morning or evening, or cloudy/foggy or rainy conditions—where headlights improve safety even if you’re not driving after dark or on a highway.
