Will points be deducted for driving without headlights at night?

If a driver does not turn on the headlights while driving at night, traffic police may impose a fine and deduct 1 point for not using lights as required by regulations. Proper use of headlights during night driving: When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals at night, it 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, the vehicle should turn on headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights. However, high beams should not be used when a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction. During foggy conditions, motor vehicles should turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers. Precautions for night driving: Drivers planning to drive at night must ensure they have adequate sleep and rest to maintain alertness. Generally, headlights should be turned on as soon as streetlights are activated at dusk. On roads without streetlights, drivers should turn on the headlights as early as possible based on speed and visibility distance. Turning on headlights is not only for illuminating the road ahead but also to ensure that other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians can see the driver's car.
