It is illegal to drive without dipped headlights in conditions of poor
visibility, including rain and road spray, in the day time.  It has been
for about 10 or 15 years.  The police car *may* have radioed a chum
rather than making a dangerous chase, but I'm just pointing out that you
don't know what the police did, not that I think it's particularly
likely.
