If you cannot clearly see a distance of 300 meters, what should you do with your headlights?

When visibility is poor and you can’t clearly see 300 meters ahead, turn on your headlights. This makes your vehicle more visible to others and helps you see the road ahead sooner, reducing the risk of a collision. Use low beam headlights in these conditions, not high beams, because high beams can glare and impair the vision of oncoming drivers. Hazard lights are for emergencies or when you’re stopped, not for regular driving in reduced visibility. Keeping headlights on is the safer, correct action.
