Headlights must be activated 30 minutes after sunset to enhance visibility.
Vehicle lights are required during the day or night when visibility is less than 1000 feet.

Long Trip Guidelines

For long trips, take breaks approximately every 2 hours or after covering one hundred miles to combat fatigue.

Night Driving Techniques

Use the lower beam of headlights in fog to improve visibility.
Dim headlights for oncoming vehicles when they are within 500 feet to prevent blinding other drivers.

Defensive Driving

A defensive driver remains vigilant and actively scans the environment for potential trouble spots to avert accidents.

Nighttime Driving Challenges

If feeling drowsy, the best strategy is to stop, exit the vehicle, and take a short walk to refresh.

Lane Usage on Highways
