What lighting is permissible so that you can be seen as early as possible in road traffic during day-light?

Using dipped headlights and daytime running lights during daylight ensures maximum visibility on the road. According to German traffic regulations, these lighting options are designed to improve your visibility to other road users. Dipped headlights not only illuminate the road ahead but also signal your presence to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Daytime running lights, usually found on newer vehicles, serve a similar purpose by making your vehicle more noticeable in various conditions.

In contrast, parking lights are intended for stationary vehicles and do not provide sufficient visibility to other drivers while in motion. Therefore, for safe driving during daylight, relying on options that enhance visibility, such as dipped headlights and daytime running lights, is important to reduce the risk of accidents.
