When should you use headlights?

• A. From sunset to sunrise and during poor visibility; use low beams when approaching or following another vehicle at night; switch to high beams on dark rural roads when no oncoming traffic
• B. Only when it is raining
• C. Only in tunnels
• D. Headlights are optional during night driving

Answer: (A)

Headlights help you see and be seen, which is crucial for safe driving. You should use them from sunset to sunrise and anytime visibility is reduced, such as in fog, rain, or snow. At night, use low beams when you are approaching or following another vehicle so you don’t blind other drivers. On dark rural roads with no oncoming traffic, you can use high beams to see farther, but switch back to low beams when another vehicle is near or when you’re approaching from the opposite direction.
