In California, when it rains.. you turn on your headlight even in day time. It's for your safety and the safety of other drivers/pedestrians.
The law says when wipers are needed by conditions. That doesn't mean when you give it a few seconds of windshield cleaning. It means when you have them on for rain, snow, fog, etc.So if you want to clean you window you need to put on your headlight too??

It just bug the hell of me that that this is now a law . I see it as one more way for the state to get their hands on your money ! A lot of newer cars have headline that come on when you start your car so those people won't have to worry . The people that can't afford newer cars will get hit with a fine if they don't know about it. I had not see this on TV or the internet.
.I know why this done , I do it on my own.

@ Reba ,thank you! I called my insurance company and asked them b/c they send me an email about the new law , the woman did not know the answer.
Maybe people shouldn't be driving if turning headlights off and on is too hard to do.
It's easy. Turn on the lights and turn on the wipers.
My 2000 Jeep Cherokee has nothing automatic on it but it's not too hard to turn on the lights and wipers, and it's a lot safer to drive with them on.
I was referring to the "old" vs. "new" vehicle light systems.I am not saying that it too hard to turn headlight on, I am saying so far I have not heard a lot about this new law that start April 7 . I wonder how many people don't know about it , and I bet some drivers may not remeber to turn their headlights one when they put on their wipers . It'll be interesting to see how many drivers will be doing this after April 7. At least I am in the habit of doing this already .

Wait.....it rains in California????
But not everyone has a new vehicle nor could afford one and have the older vehicle to drive. Like DHB pointed out... there is plenty that doesn't use their headlights during the rain and the authorities can't be able to stop each one of them unless the driver is driving erratically that is much more safety hazard.
People who can't afford a new car can still use common sense and turn their lights on when it rains, snows, fogs, or the sun sets. It doesn't cost anything, and it makes the roads a lot safer for everyone.I posted this on # 9

People that can't afford a new car may not be able to afford internet or buying newspapers and not be informed about this new law. Yeah I have seen people break a traffic law right in front of a police and they did nothing.
The police was not responding to anything they just were too lazy to get out
of their car.
