Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Sunset is at 7:40 p.m. on a clear evening. Under Washington law, from what time must your headlights be on?
Correct answer: 8:10 p.m.
Why
In the morning, the requirement ends a half hour before sunrise. The guide suggests an easier habit: keep your headlights on all the time, or at least whenever it is dark or the weather is poor. Headlights help you see, and they also help other road users see you.
