Rules and responsibilities
Using your headlights
and tail lights
Headlights help you to see at night.
Headlights and tail lights help others to
see you in poor light conditions. Your
headlights and tail lights must be on
between sunset and sunrise.
They must also be on in hazardous
weather conditions where there is
reduced visibility.
Tip
If the street lights are on, your
lights should also be on.
High-beam headlights
Headlights on high-beam enable you
to see further. However, headlights on
high-beam may dazzle an oncoming
driver, so you must ‘dip’ them to
low-beam when another vehicle is
within 200 metres. You must also
dip your high-beam headlights
when driving within 200 metres
behind another vehicle.
Don’t be dazzled by high-beam
Look to the left side of the road and
drive towards the left of your lane if a
car with high-beam headlights on is
approaching. If dazzled by the lights,
slow down and pull over until your
eyes recover.
