How to Use and Operate Vehicle Lights?
2 Answers
When preparing to turn at an intersection, use the correct lighting (alternate between high and low beams at least twice). When approaching a sharp curve, use the correct lighting (alternate between high and low beams at least twice). When approaching a humpback bridge, use the correct lighting (alternate between high and low beams at least twice). When meeting other vehicles, use the correct lighting (turn on low beams).
When I first got my driver's license, I was most afraid of forgetting to turn on the lights at night! The operation is actually quite simple: after sitting in the driver's seat and starting the car, find the knob on the left side of the steering wheel, give it a gentle turn to turn on the headlights—if it's dark, the automatic lights will come on by themselves. To switch to high beams, just push the lever next to it, and for turn signals, pull it inward or outward—the clicking sound will alert others to your direction. Nowadays, cars also have daytime running lights that stay on without needing attention, but remember to periodically check the bulb temperature by touching it to avoid overheating and burning out—the first time I drove around the city without turning on the lights, I almost hit the curb. Since then, I've made it a habit to turn on the lights before starting the car—it's both safer and more convenient, avoiding last-minute panic.
