Should I use headlights when it’s raining?

“Drivers in Queensland are required to use low-beam headlights during the day if weather conditions are hazardous and cause reduced visibility. This can include rain, fog or smoke,” Joel Tucker, the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland’s (RACQ) Manager of Road Safety and Technical, told Drive.

Meanwhile, South Australia’s Driver’s Handbook states: “When driving between sunset and sunrise or in hazardous weather conditions, when rain, dust or fog cause reduced or poor visibility, your vehicle’s headlights, rear lights and number plate light must be turned on.
