This fact-check addresses a viral claim in Australia that from a certain date (e.g., November 2025) drivers must keep headlights on “at all times” and would be fined if not. The article shows that the claim is false: no such new uniform nationwide law exists, and the claim appears to stem from an AI-generated or mis-reported post. State laws in Australia vary and generally only require headlights at night or in poor visibility. It highlights how easily misinformation about everyday regulations can spread and confuse ordinary citizens.
