Can the Following Vehicle Use High Beams When Driving Behind Another Car at Night?
1 Answers
When driving behind another car at night, the following vehicle should not use high beams but rather low beams. If the following vehicle turns on high beams, it can significantly impair the vision of the leading driver. Therefore, low beams should be used, and alternating between high and low beams should be avoided. Additionally, maintaining a safe and effective distance from the leading vehicle is essential. Relevant regulations are as follows: When driving at night without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low-visibility situations such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, vehicles must turn on headlights, clearance lights, and taillights. However, high beams should not be used when driving closely behind another vehicle in the same direction. During foggy conditions, vehicles must turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers.
