Do vehicle lights at night go from near to far?
1 Answers
When the illumination distance of vehicle lights at night goes from near to far, it indicates that the vehicle may have entered a curve with a mountain on one side. High beams illuminate much higher and farther than low beams, which is designed to light up higher and more distant objects. Therefore, low beams should be used on roads with street lighting, while high beams are appropriate for roads without illumination. Rapidly switching between high and low beams can alert drivers of oncoming vehicles. The following four situations require the use of hazard lights: 1. Temporary parking: When temporarily parked, hazard lights must be activated, and in some cases, warning signs should also be placed. If the vehicle is temporarily stopped to wait for someone or pick up items, hazard lights should be turned on to alert others of the parked vehicle. 2. When a vehicle is being towed due to a breakdown: Both the faulty vehicle and the towing vehicle must turn on their hazard lights; otherwise, they may face penalties such as fines or demerit points. Failure to activate hazard lights in this situation can make it difficult for trailing vehicles to discern the status of the vehicle ahead, increasing the risk of accidents. 3. When visibility is less than 100 meters: In northern regions, heavy fog in autumn and winter can reduce visibility to below 100 meters, necessitating the use of hazard lights. 4. When permitted by traffic authorities: Under certain special circumstances, with approval from traffic authorities, vehicles in a convoy may need to activate their hazard lights.
