Headlights increases visability

Additional Information

Headlights switched on increases visabilty in ALL weather conditions.

As a professional driver (HGV), I am always amazed to see how few people drive on motorways whith either no lights or just their sidelights switched on. Not just car users but also HGV. On rainy drizzly or misty dull days, oncoming vehicles are less visible, especially in rear view mirrors. If it is wet, the amount of spray which is created adds to a lower visabilty, and also increases the the dirt spray on windscreen and mirrors. Driving with only sidelights on makes absolutiy no sense at all, and doesn't create a smaller carbon footprint or save energy.

In a time where so many "nonsence" Health & Safety rules are made, I think this is really something that would make a massive difference and would save lives, and would contribute to less road incidents all together.

Why not do it like in scandinavian countries, where it is an offense to drive without headlights switched on ?

At least on motorways.
