TZD Tuesday - Headlights on When Snowing

The law is simple… If you're behind the wheel and there’s precipitation, your vehicle’s headlights, taillights and marker lights need to be turned on. Even if it's just a light flurry.

Drivers might assume the sensors will activate all of the vehicle’s lights in reduced visibilities, but that is not always the case.  They do not always turn on automatically, especially during the day. That’s why it’s important to consult your owner’s manual and learn how to turn your lights on manually.

Seeing and being seen can help reduce your chances of being involved in a crash, so be sure to double-check that your vehicle's headlights, taillights, and marker lights are shining before heading out on the road. Ultimately, it’s one more way to drive smart and keep yourself and others safe on Minnesota roads.
