Do Daytime Running Lights Count as Car Headlights in NYS?
If you have a drivers license for the State of New York, you probably already know that when your windshield wipers are on then your headlights need to be on, right?
Ok, I thought that the Daytime Running Lights that I have with my car counted as headlights, for the purpose of using the wipers when (during the daytime) it is raining. I also have the headlights that I can leave switched on and they magically turn off when I lock the car.
So, when I went to look into the mysterious laws of the New York State DMV that are on the books but few people actually know about, I came across this. The Daytime Running Lights do not count as headlights during the day, in the rain, on a New York State roadway.
