My daughter told me that the law requires drivers to turn on their headlights when it's raining in Sweden. How the hell

am I supposed to know if it’s raining in Sweden?

In Sweden, if you can’t see the fjord, it’s raining. If you can see the fjord, it’s getting ready to rain.

So you'd have to go there to check for rain, or else head west to Norway where all the fjords are.

Drivers are required to turn on headlights when it rains or snows or is foggy, and water vapor accumulates on the windshield .

Essentially, if you need to use the wipers for precipitation, turn on your headlights
