Unfortunately the new regulations are incomplete and still give humans too much credit. That still leaves struggling room for low-visibility situations like fog, heavy rain storms, blizzards, etc.

Missed opportunity to just make it automatic - if you are moving, your front and rear lights are on.

As of September 2021 the Canadian Vehicle Lighting Regulation will require that all new vehicles sold in Canada have one of the following:

- tail lights that come on automatically with daytime running lights
- headlights, tail lights, and side marker lights that turn on automatically in the dark
- a dashboard that stays dark to alert the driver to turn on the lights

This standard will apply to all new vehicles (cars, trucks, SUVs, 3-wheeled vehicles, motorcycles and heavy trucks).

So good news for strugglers (and those behind them) at night, but not so much in other forms of low visibility.
