I saw people switching off their lights while waiting at traffic lights (Strange habit, never seen this abroad). When I asked my driver friend, he said, the traffic cops ask us to do so. (So it seems this could work too.. regardless is it necessart or not.)..

If it is a vintage/classic car some may switch off as the headlights drain the battery and the car would not start when you try to after having ice cream/coffee.

As long as the parking lights are ON I think it is alright.The question should be why don't they switch OFF headlights in a traffic signal abroad.

The vehicle manufacturers also can place the headlights lower as VOLVO B7R bus than placing it so high as a Mahindra van.
