safe-driving
When is a driver required to use headlights because visibility is limited?
- When persons or vehicles cannot be seen for 500 feet
- Only when the driver is traveling above 55 mph
- Only after another driver flashes high beams
- When the vehicle is parked with its engine off
Answer: When persons or vehicles cannot be seen for 500 feet. Montana requires headlights when insufficient light makes people or vehicles invisible at a distance of 500 feet. The rule is tied to what the driver can see, not to a particular travel speed, another driver's signal, or a parked vehicle. Check visibility at dusk, in darkness, and in conditions such as dust or fog. Turn the lights on early enough for others to see your vehicle too.
