High Beam or Low Beam on the Highway?
1 Answers
When driving on the highway at night, the choice between using high beam or low beam headlights can be determined based on the specific driving conditions. Precautions for using high beam: The illumination distance of high beam headlights is generally around 100 meters, which provides drivers with more reaction time. This is an important reason to use high beams on highways at night when conditions permit. Precautions for using low beam: The illumination range of low beam headlights is typically about 30 meters. Some sections of highways lack streetlights, and even where lighting exists, the conditions and coverage are limited. Combined with the high speed of travel, such a short illumination distance leaves drivers with virtually no reaction time if there are hazards or obstacles ahead, making rear-end collisions highly likely.
