When error should be shown
Error should only occur if the options were not pre-selected and user tries to continue without selecting an option. Required radio groups should be indicated in the label with a * in the error token color. Suplementary error message should be shown below the group.
Required
When radio button selection is required it should be reflected in the fieldset label.
Avoid using radio buttons for a binary choice
The toggle or checkbox is most often used for settings and allows the user to choose between yes/no options or on/off.
