Can you use parking lights instead of headlights when driving at night?

Yes, if it's more convenient
No, it's not permitted
Yes, when parked on the street
No, but only in parking lots

The correct answer is: No, it's not permitted

In Georgia, as well as in most places, the law requires that drivers use their headlights when driving at night. Parking lights are not designed to illuminate the road ahead and are intended for use when the vehicle is parked to make it more visible to other drivers. Using parking lights instead of headlights can compromise safety by failing to provide adequate visibility for the driver and reducing the ability of other road users to see the vehicle. Headlights are crucial for both seeing the road and being seen by others, particularly in low-light conditions or at night. By using headlights, drivers comply with traffic laws and ensure that they have a clear view of their surroundings, thus enhancing safety for themselves and other road users.
