North Dakota – The North Dakota Highway Patrol reminded drivers on March 3, 2026, that using daytime running lights alone may not make vehicles fully visible in low-visibility conditions.

Officials shared photos taken that morning in Mandan and later near Steele at 4:30 PM, showing vehicles traveling with daytime running lights only, which means their tail lights were not illuminated.

The patrol emphasized that when visibility is reduced due to fog, snow, or low light, drivers should turn their headlights on fully to ensure both headlights and tail lights are active.

Motorists are advised to double-check their dash indicators to confirm that lights are fully on, reminding everyone: see and be seen.
