In addition to dusk and dawn, when should you turn on your headlights?

Turning on your headlights during rainy, snowy, or foggy days is essential because it improves visibility for both the driver and other road users. Weather conditions that include rain, snow, or fog can significantly reduce visibility due to diminished light and road conditions. Using headlights in these situations helps illuminate the road ahead and makes your vehicle more conspicuous to others, thereby enhancing safety on the road.

It’s also important to note that in many places, including New Mexico, it is legally required to use headlights in certain adverse weather conditions. This practice not only aids visibility but also reinforces the importance of being aware of the surroundings while driving.

Utilizing your headlights during these times can help avoid accidents and ensure a safer driving experience for everyone on the road.
