Will points be deducted for driving at night without headlights?

Driving at night without headlights will result in a one-point deduction and corresponding fine. Headlight usage guidelines for nighttime driving: When motor vehicles pass through intersections controlled by traffic signals at night, they should use low beams. When driving at night on roads without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in situations of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, vehicles must turn on headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights. However, high beams should not be used when following another vehicle at close range. During foggy conditions, motor vehicles must turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers. Precautions for nighttime driving: Drivers planning to drive at night must get adequate sleep and rest to ensure alertness. Generally, headlights should be turned on as soon as streetlights come on at dusk. On roads without streetlights, turn on headlights as early as possible depending on speed and visibility distance. Using headlights isn't just for illuminating the road ahead - more importantly, it allows other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians to see your vehicle.
