For motorcycles built before 1978, what is a requirement?

Motorcycles built before 1978 are required to have their headlights on at all times while in operation, regardless of the time of day. This requirement enhances visibility and safety on the road, as older motorcycle designs may not have the same level of built-in safety features that modern motorcycles do. By ensuring that headlights are always active, riders increase their chances of being seen by other vehicles and pedestrians, reducing the risk of accidents. This regulation is especially critical for older motorcycles that may not have adequate daytime running lights or other visibility enhancements commonly found on newer models.
