Parking Lights Not for Driving
The Canadian Highway Safety Council warns that driving with only parking lights is illegal and dangerous in Canada. Poor visibility from winter storms or poor conditions requires headlights, as lamps on parking lights fail to reveal vehicles more than 500 feet away. Ira G. Needles cites modern cars as making parking lights unnecessary and advises against infractions for using parking lights.
