Will you be punished and fined for driving at night without turning on the lights?

Driving at night without turning on the lights will not be punished, but you may be warned or fined.

According to the regulations, motor vehicles should turn on headlights, position lights and rear position lights when driving at night without street lights, poor lighting or in case of fog, rain, snow, dust and hail. Failure to turn on the light according to the regulations is likely to cause traffic accidents.

In this case, the electronic eye will not be caught, because the electronic eye mainly captures other illegal acts such as running red lights, pressing lines, illegal parking and so on. , will not capture whether the vehicle has turned on the light. However, if the traffic police find that they do not use the lights according to the regulations, they may fine 20 yuan to 200 yuan and deduct 1 point, or they may just criticize education without punishment. However, whether they will be punished or not, they need to use the lights reasonably to avoid traffic accidents.

Correct use of lights at night

1. No matter whether there are street lights on the road at night, you need to turn on the low beam lights, position lights and rear position lights first, so that others can observe our vehicles. If you are on a road with less traffic, and the road is not lit and you are not driving with the car, you need to turn on the high beam.

2. If you drive in fog, rain, snow and other places with low visibility, you need to turn on the fog lights. Because fog lamps are used for high brightness, high power and strong penetration, they can effectively let other vehicles find the light of our vehicles and take evasive measures in advance.

3. When you need to turn or turn around, you must use the left and right turn signals correctly, and you need to turn on the corresponding turn signals before changing the direction. Moreover, only when it is safe, the direction light flashes more than three times, and the direction can be changed.

4. When driving at night, when driving to special sections (sharp bends, slopes, arch bridges, crosswalks, etc.). ), it is necessary to alternately use far and near light signals to let other vehicles observe our vehicles and avoid traffic accidents.
