Drivers warned of Highway Code rule about lights that could lead to £1,000 fine

Drivers have been urged to take note of an important Highway Code rule regarding lights during bad weather.

'Daytime running lights' or DRLs are required for all new cars in the UK. These are activated automatically as soon as the car is switched on and they improve visibility during the day in a bid to reduce road accidents.

In most cases, they only come on at the front of your car rather than the back - but drivers could be hit with a £1,000 fine if they only rely on the DRLs instead of dipped headlights, Somerset Live reports.
