Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Sunset today was at 7:40 p.m. The sky is clear and there is still some daylight. You are driving. At what time does New Jersey law first require your headlights to be on?
Correct answer: 8:10 p.m.
Why
The same law also requires headlights whenever rain, snow or ice makes you use your windshield wipers and whenever you cannot clearly see people and vehicles 500 feet ahead. Turning your headlights on earlier at dusk helps other drivers and pedestrians see you. Parking lights are never a substitute for headlights when headlights are required.
