It's true, not only that, but DID YOU KNOW that the laws for driving with your headlights on are slightly different in Texas? Check it out below.

You see it all the time, people driving around in the rain, wipers going but their headlights are off. If you're that in Arkansas, you're breaking the law. According to the website your mechanic, the state of Arkansas rules for headlight use is as follows.
