At what distance should high beams be switched to low beams when meeting another vehicle at night?
1 Answers
When meeting another vehicle on the road at night, you should switch from high beams to low beams when the oncoming vehicle is more than 50 meters away. Article 48 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that on roads without central separation facilities or center lines, motor vehicles encountering vehicles from the opposite direction shall comply with the following regulations: Slow down and keep to the right, maintaining a necessary safe distance from other vehicles and pedestrians. On road sections with obstacles, the vehicle on the unobstructed side has the right of way; however, if the vehicle on the obstructed side has already entered the obstacle section while the vehicle on the unobstructed side has not, the vehicle on the obstructed side has the right of way. On narrow slopes, the vehicle going uphill has the right of way; however, if the vehicle going downhill has already reached the midpoint while the vehicle going uphill has not started ascending, the vehicle going downhill has the right of way. On narrow mountain roads, the vehicle not adjacent to the mountain has the right of way. When meeting another vehicle at night, you should switch to low beams when the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters away, and use low beams when meeting non-motor vehicles on narrow roads or narrow bridges.
