Keep Headlights On Even During the Day

The Problem

You only turn on headlights at night. During dusk, dawn, rain, and overcast conditions, you're invisible.

The Hack

Turn on headlights in: rain, dusk, dawn, overcast conditions, and in tunnels. Many drivers set headlights to 'Auto' which handles this, but manual override ensures they're always on.

Why It Works

Headlights aren't just for you to see — they're for OTHERS to see you. Being visible reduces head-on crashes 25%, especially on two-lane roads and in low-visibility conditions.

Pro Tips

  • 'Auto' headlight setting handles most situations
  • In rain: headlights are required by law in most states
  • Dusk and dawn are the most dangerous visibility periods
  • Always on = never forgotten
