When are headlights legally required to be on?

Headlights are required to keep you visible to others and to help you see the road ahead when conditions limit visibility. In Nova Scotia, you must have headlights on from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise, and also any time you cannot see clearly for a distance of 300 metres. This covers both night hours and situations like fog, rain, or snow where your visibility is reduced. The other statements are incomplete: headlights aren’t needed only from midnight to 5 am, they aren’t required every year, and they aren’t only required when it’s raining.
