Why is visibility so important for driving in Iceland?

Due to long dark winters ('Skammdegi') and numerous tunnels, maintaining excellent visibility, both seeing and being seen, is crucial for safety on Icelandic roads and for passing your theory exam.

When should I turn on my lights in tunnels in Iceland?

You must always turn on your vehicle's driving lights when entering a tunnel in Iceland, even if it appears well-lit. This ensures you are visible to others and can see clearly.

'Skammdegi' refers to the long periods in winter with very limited daylight hours. During these months, drivers must be extra vigilant about visibility, using proper lighting and adjusting to low-light conditions.

Do Icelandic traffic laws require lights to be on at all times?
