When are headlights required to be turned on while driving?

Headlights are required to be turned on one-half hour before sunset until one-half hour after sunrise to ensure that drivers can see clearly and be seen by other road users during low light conditions. This timeframe encompasses the dim lighting just before sunset and the early morning hours when visibility is limited.

Using headlights during these times is essential for safety, as it increases the visibility of your vehicle and improves your ability to see the road and any potential hazards. Furthermore, this practice aligns with the standard regulations to maintain a consistent approach to headlight use, contributing to safer roads overall.

The other options reflect periods which either do not cover the necessary low visibility times adequately or restrict headlight use to specific conditions that may not provide a comprehensive safety measure for all driving scenarios.
