Highway Driving at Night: High Beam or Low Beam?
1 Answers
Highway driving at night can be done with either high beam or low beam headlights. Precautions for using high beams on highways are as follows: 1. Do not use high beams when entering tunnels. The significant difference in light levels inside and outside tunnels may temporarily impair the driver's vision and reduce reaction capability. Using high beams in tunnels can be dangerous, and since tunnels are already illuminated, high beams are unnecessary. 2. Avoid using high beams in rainy or foggy conditions. High beam light scatters in fog and rain, affecting the driver's visibility. 3. Prolonged use of high beams can cause faster eye fatigue and may lead to visual illusions. When driving on highways at night, avoid continuous use of high beams; adjust your headlights according to different situations.
