    Here in Sweden, all cars are required to always have their lights on when the car is moving/active, regardless of time of day or weather.

    I was about to reply that sometimes it is better to not use your high beams in fog, as it is can reduce your visibility.

    But then I realized that most places don’t have our laws of lights, so I wrote this commwnt instead.

      Austria had a day time lights law when I learned to drive, it just made sense. Then they abolished that law again :(

      Which means you do get idiots driving in fog or at dusk with their lights off.

      Hell, the automatic lights aren’t perfect either on my new car, in bright fog I still have to make sure I turn the lights on manually as otherwise the back lights are turned off (front is okay with the LEDs). Stupid design.
