Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
The sun sets at 7:50 p.m. The evening is clear, and you can see people and cars well beyond 1,000 feet. By what time, at the latest, must your headlights be on?
Correct answer: 8:20 p.m.
Why
Texas law requires lighted headlights at nighttime, which starts 30 minutes after sunset and ends 30 minutes before sunrise. They are also required at any time when you cannot clearly see a person or vehicle 1,000 feet ahead, for example in rain, fog or dust. You may turn them on earlier, and at dusk this helps other drivers see you.
