<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Using Headlights at Night
Headlights not only enable you to see what's ahead of you, but allow others to see you. Headlights allow you to see anything that is in the road, cars stalled along the side of the road and creatures that may be about to dart into the road. They also allow others to see you and adjust their driving as necessary.
On the Other: Too Bright
Occasionally you may think you can see better without headlights. On clear, moonlit nights, the headlights may limit your vision to only what they light up. Headlights that are too bright on other cars may temporarily blind or distract you.
Bottom Line
A lot of accidents happen when visibility is poor, either at night or during bad weather conditions. The lack of visibility can be the direct cause of accidents. If you can't see, and others can't see you, no one can adjust for unforeseen instances on the road. Headlight use is required by law under certain conditions and is often recommended for use under all conditions.
