When is the use of headlights required during the day?

The requirement to use headlights during the day is linked to visibility conditions. When visibility is less than 200 feet, it is essential to turn on your headlights to ensure you can see the road ahead and that other drivers can see you. This regulation enhances safety by improving visibility in challenging conditions, such as rain, snow, or fog.

Clear weather conditions do not necessitate the use of headlights, so driving during the day in clear weather typically does not require them. Similarly, headlights are not mandated solely for foggy conditions or only at dusk; rather, they must be used under any circumstances where visibility is hindered. Hence, the focus on visibility under 200 feet as the requirement emphasizes safe driving practices in potentially hazardous situations.
