It is noon. Steady rain makes you run your windshield wipers all the time, but you can still see more than 500 feet ahead. What does Virginia law require for your lights?
A travels in steady rain at noon. The factual card states that the wipers run continuously and visibility remains more than 500 feet.
Correct answer: Your headlights, because your wipers are on for rain
Why
In rain, other drivers have difficulty seeing your car, especially in their mirrors and blind spots. The rule is easy to follow: if the weather makes you use the wipers, turn on the headlights. The rule does not apply when you use the wipers only from time to time in a light mist. Use low beams in rain, and keep washer fluid in the car so that the wipers do not smear the glass.
