Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
At 2 p.m. a steady rain begins, so you turn on your windshield wipers and leave them running. What does North Carolina law require about your headlights?
Correct answer: Turn them on, because headlights are required whenever you use your wipers because of bad weather.
Why
Headlights in the rain help other drivers see your vehicle, not only help you see the road. The rule does not apply when you use the wipers only now and then in a light mist. Headlights are also required from sunset to sunrise and whenever you cannot clearly see a person 400 feet ahead.
