How to Identify High and Low Beam Lights?

[OAngelo]

Car high beam and low beam lights can be distinguished as follows: (1) The low beam has an illumination distance of about 30-40 meters, with a coverage range of approximately 160°. (2) The high beam, on the other hand, has more concentrated light with a larger bright spot, capable of illuminating higher and farther distances, though the exact range may vary depending on the headlight material. Here are some relevant details: 1. Since both high and low beams are part of the headlights, their illumination directly affects nighttime driving operations and traffic safety. In some areas where lighting equipment is available but insufficient, the low beam should still be used. High beams must not be used indiscriminately; they should only be employed when there are no other lighting facilities on the road and no oncoming vehicles, as they can severely impair the vision of other drivers and even cause traffic accidents. 2. If encountering a driver from the opposite lane using high beams, first alternate between high and low beams to signal them to switch to low beams. If there is no response, the driver should shift their gaze to the right side of the road, reduce speed, and honk appropriately.
