Can You Use High Beams on the Highway?

[OAubrey]

You can use high beams on the highway. Highways rarely have streetlights, and at night, they can be completely dark if there are no other vehicles. Therefore, under appropriate conditions, using high beams is necessary when driving on highways at night, especially when maintaining a sufficient following distance or when road conditions are poor. High beams help ensure driving safety. Situations where high beams should not be used on the highway: 1. When following another vehicle: To avoid affecting the driver ahead, turn off high beams and maintain a safe distance. 2. When preparing to overtake: Use the turn signal to alert the vehicle ahead, and after completing the overtake, you can switch back to high beams if conditions allow. 3. When entering toll booths or service areas: Reduce speed and turn off high beams. 4. When passing through ramp intersections: Turn off high beams, as these areas often involve continuous turns (where high beams are not allowed), and reduce speed accordingly.
