What is one of the required times to have your headlamps on?

Having your headlamps on at dusk and dawn is crucial for maintaining visibility on the road. These times of day often present low-light conditions that can lead to decreased visibility for both the driver and other road users. By ensuring that your headlamps are operational during these periods, you enhance your ability to see the road ahead, as well as make your vehicle more visible to others, thereby improving overall safety.

While driving during rush hour may also warrant the use of headlamps for safety reasons due to increased traffic, it is not a legally required condition as dusk and dawn are specifically noted times for headlamp usage. Using windshield wipers is helpful in inclement weather, but the rule focuses on the necessity of headlamp illumination rather than wiper usage. Lastly, driving when it is sunny does not typically require headlamp use, as the natural light conditions are usually sufficient for visibility.
