UK drivers may face £1,000 fines for not using dipped headlights during poor visibility.

UK drivers may face fines up to £1,000 for not using dipped headlights during poor visibility, relying instead on daytime running lights (DRLs). While DRLs, mandated since 2011, enhance daytime visibility, they do not activate rear lights necessary for low visibility conditions. Experts emphasize the importance of using dipped headlights to ensure both front and rear lights are illuminated, thereby improving safety on the roads.
