I happened to encounter the violation code 13480 today because I was fined last month for driving at night without turning on my headlights. 13480 refers to the failure to use vehicle lights as required while driving on the road, especially not turning on headlights during nighttime or when visibility is poor. In my case, I simply forgot to turn on the lights, and the police issued a ticket directly, deducting 1 point and fining me 100 yuan. Since then, I've developed a habit of checking the lighting system as soon as it gets dark and regularly testing the brightness of my headlights at the shop. Although this type of violation isn't severe, it poses significant safety risks, especially on highways. I recommend everyone take lighting issues seriously, as it might be too late once an accident occurs. Personally, I now double-check my lighting settings before every drive.
