When are your headlights required to be on while driving?

  1. From sunrise to sunset

  2. From noon to sunset

  3. From sunset to sunrise

  4. From evening to morning

The correct answer is: From sunset to sunrise

Headlights are required to be on from sunset to sunrise because this period is generally when visibility is significantly reduced due to natural light diminishing or vanishing altogether. At night, the ability to see and be seen is crucial for safety on the road, which is why legislation mandates the use of headlights during these hours. The intention is to improve visibility for both the driver and oncoming vehicles, thus reducing the risk of accidents. In addition to nighttime driving between sunset and sunrise, it's also important to note that headlights should be used in other conditions, such as during bad weather or when visibility is limited, although those scenarios are not captured in the options provided.
