Question: In Ontario, snow-covered headlights and taillights should be:

Answer options:

• Left alone ✅ Cleared before driving for visibility and so others can see you
• Covered
• Replaced

Correct answer: Cleared before driving for visibility and so others can see you

Explanation: Ontario driving rules require clearing all snow and ice from your headlights and taillights before driving to ensure maximum visibility and to allow other motorists to see you. Leaving lights covered or ignored creates a severe safety hazard and violates the Highway Traffic Act, which mandates functional, visible lighting in poor conditions; replacing them is entirely unnecessary unless they are damaged. On the G1 exam, remember that winter driving safety questions prioritize proactive measures that ensure all vehicle glass and lights are completely unobstructed before you set out on the road.
