In inclement weather, you’re supposed to have your headlights on.

Any kind of weather. Makes the vehicle more visible to other drivers

Sure but the law is specifically for inclement weather

Personally I think they should have designed cars so that whenever the car is on the headlights are on and you can't turn them off with turning the car off. There's literally few to no reasons why you wouldn't want your headlights on.

I agree in most cases but there are definitely cases it's handy being able to turn them off. it's handy for me to be able to turn them off anyway.

Prime example, my house is located on a heavily travelled road and across the road from my house is another road that is dead end but quite long with a lot of houses on it. I back my truck in rather than pulling in so it would be quite annoying for all those folks to be blinded by my headlights shining through their windshield as my truck warms up, meanwhile they're just trying to find a break in traffic to pull out. Turning my lights off while the vehicle is on alleviates that issue.

It would definitely mean some minor inconveniences for some people but overall it would make roads a lot safer.

Perhaps, especially in the inclement weather!
