Many cars now feature daytime running lights or “always-on” headlights. These daytime lighting features reduce your risk in a crash by doubling your visibility to other drivers. They are so effective that many insurance companies will give a discount for vehicles that are equipped with them. If you do not have “always-on” lighting you need to know when your headlights are mandatory. The most obvious time is while night driving. At night the use of headlights is critical; not only to see but to be seen. What are some other times that headlights are important?
It is just as important to turn on your headlights while driving in rain or snow during daylight hours. Consider what a driver sees when looking through a car window partially covered with rain, snow, or fog. Drivers are required to pull into traffic (sometimes with less than a second to make their decision) and along comes a car without its lights on. The car may or may not be detected in time. The point is, why take the chance? The best way to ensure that other drivers will see you (and therefore will not pull out in front you) is to turn your headlights on whenever driving in bad weather or reduced visibility conditions. Most states require drivers to turn their lights on when visibility is below 1000 feet. The number of drivers who do not do this is alarming.
