Greyhound started it to promote their safety image. I'm not sure of exactly when it began, but I can remember the headlights on Greyhound buses being on at all times back in the early 1960s.


Firecracker .
Not exactly sure.
It was made mandatory for motorcycles in the late '70s. (in the US).

i think in US..that is of no use..for those who want head light in day time to drive, how did they get vision test done and got a licence..?it was by some politicians who interested in money..


joyceeleann
well, because people can't pay attention when they drive. Next our cars will be equipped with Lighhouse Lights and fog horns

i dont know about the buses, but starting in the very late 80's, i started to notice more and more semi's driving with the lights on.

I'm not sure, but buses and trucks started it. Then somebody thought it would be a good idea for cars, too.
