When does Louisiana law require your headlights to be on?

- B Between sunset and sunrise
- C Only when it is raining or foggy
- D Only after 9 p.m.
Show answer
B. Between sunset and sunrise
Louisiana law requires headlights, not just parking lights, from sunset to sunrise. They are also required when you need your wipers or when others cannot see your car from 500 feet.
You are driving at night with high beams on. Within what distance of an oncoming vehicle must you switch to low beams?
- A 200 feet
- B 1,000 feet
- C 100 feet
- D 500 feet
Show answer
D. 500 feet
Louisiana requires low beams when you come within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or follow within 200 feet of another vehicle. High beams at close range blind other drivers.
You are following another car at night. Within what distance must you switch to low beams?
- A 500 feet
- B 300 feet
- C 200 feet
- D 100 feet
Show answer
C. 200 feet
When following another vehicle within 200 feet, use your low beams. High beams reflect off the other car's mirrors and dazzle its driver.
It starts raining in the afternoon and you need your windshield wipers. What else does Louisiana law require?
- A Turn on your emergency flashers
- B Turn on your headlights (low beam)
- C Turn on your high beams
- D Turn on your parking lights and nothing else
Show answer
B. Turn on your headlights (low beam)
Louisiana law requires your low-beam headlights to be on whenever your windshield wipers are needed. Headlights help other drivers see you in rain, even during the day.
