When are headlights required to be on in Georgia?

In Georgia, headlights are required to be on from sunset to sunrise and during times of reduced visibility, such as in fog, rain, or snow. This regulation ensures that drivers can see the road clearly and be seen by other motorists, which is crucial for safety.

The law emphasizes the importance of visibility in various driving conditions, especially at night when natural light is minimal, as well as during adverse weather conditions that can obscure visibility. By using headlights in these situations, drivers not only comply with the law but also contribute to overall road safety, making it easier for everyone to navigate and avoid accidents.

Headlights are not required only during the daytime, nor are they strictly mandated in residential areas or solely during inclement weather. It’s the combination of nighttime driving and reduced visibility conditions that specifically triggers the need to engage headlights.
