When are headlights required to be used while driving?

Headlights are required to be used from sunset to sunrise and during times of low visibility, which includes fog, heavy rain, or any other conditions that significantly impair your ability to see and be seen by other road users. This requirement ensures that you maintain a clear vision of the road and surrounding environment, while also providing visibility to other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Proper use of headlights helps to enhance safety on the road by reducing the risk of accidents that can occur when visibility is compromised, either due to darkness or adverse weather conditions.

In contrast, using headlights only from sunrise to sunset does not account for the scenarios where visibility is poor even during daylight hours. Limiting headlight use strictly to fog or nighttime in urban areas may also lead to situations where a driver is at risk due to inadequate lighting. Therefore, headlights must be utilized whenever conditions necessitate better visibility for safe driving.
