Many people travel via car or get a car while they are traveling, so everyone should be aware of local and state laws. Many states such as Virginia, Maryland, DC and New Jersey require motorist to have their headlights on while driving in inclement weather. Having your headlights on at all times is never a bad idea, so other motorist can see you on the road, but at the very least be sure to have them on during rain and snow. Many states have mandatory laws that require drivers to have their headlights on whenever using their windshield wipers.
So ask when getting your car rental about these laws or check out the local DMV rules for the states you may be driving to for travel. It is always best to be safe than sorry and avoid a ticket or worse.
