Tennessee Permit Practice Test

When should you use your headlights?

1. Only at night

2. In low-light conditions, during rain, fog, or when visibility is poor

3. Only during heavy rainstorms

4. Always when driving

The correct answer is: In low-light conditions, during rain, fog, or when visibility is poor

Using headlights in low-light conditions, during rain, fog, or when visibility is poor is essential for ensuring safety on the road. This practice enhances your ability to see and be seen by other drivers, which is crucial in conditions that impair visibility, such as dusk, dawn, heavy rain, or fog. In these situations, even during the day, visibility can be significantly reduced, making it difficult for other vehicles to see you without proper lighting. Proper use of headlights not only helps you navigate tricky conditions but also reduces the risk of accidents. Utilizing headlights in these scenarios contributes to overall road awareness and enhances the safety of all road users.
