DgarJust read that it’s law that you have to turn your headlights on when it’s raining in Sweden.
How the hell am I supposed to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Elias Mårtenson@dgar Yes, I know it's a joke, but in case anyone (who?) is interested. In Sweden, you always need to have your headlights on, regardless of whether it's raining or not.

@fredriksvaren @dgar I don't live in Sweden anymore, so I can't look at the traffic, but I found this text on Transportstyrelsen:
I dagsljus ska du använda halvljus, men du får även använda annat ljus. Halvljus och annat ljus får inte användas samtidigt. Med annat ljus menas ljus från varsellykta, dimljusstrålkastare eller spänningsreducerad halvljusstrålkastare.
The special rules you refer to only appears to apply to rear lights.

@loke @dgar I know, but EU law replaces it, so it really doesn't matter. It is not something anyone discuss today because it has affected all cars since 2011.
It is briefly discussed here:

@fredriksvaren @dgar but the article you referenced will only talks about rear lights. Headlights has to be on during the day in Sweden (halvljus or varselljus).
@loke @dgar yes, because that is the problem that got worse.
You don't have to believe me, just google any picture from Sweden in daylight. Here is one, feel free to count the amount of cars with low beam headlights ("half light"). They are not parked 🙂

@loke @dgar but you are right, there is a requirement of something resembling "varselljus", called daytime running lights/DRL, but they are nothing like the lights regulated in "halvljuslagen", they are more like position lights and it is the same throughout most of the EU, simply because you don't make different models for different countries anymore.
