How to Use Headlights When Driving at Night?

[LaSteven]

Here are the specific methods for using headlights during night driving: 1. Under normal circumstances, only the low beam is necessary when driving at night, and turn signals should be used when turning. Urban roads are well-lit, so there is no need to use high beams unless there is insufficient lighting. 2. When encountering oncoming traffic, if you are using low beams, no adjustment is needed. If high beams were previously on, they should be switched to low beams in advance. Otherwise, high beams can prevent the oncoming driver from accurately judging your vehicle's width, potentially causing an accident. After passing the oncoming vehicle, decide whether to switch back to high beams based on road conditions. 3. When driving straight through an intersection at night, use low beams. At uncontrolled intersections, slow down and alternately flash high and low beams as a signal. 4. When overtaking, first activate the turn signal, then honk and quickly alternate between high and low beams to alert the vehicle ahead. After confirming that the vehicle ahead has no intention of changing lanes, proceed with the overtaking maneuver swiftly. Avoid driving side by side for an extended period. Once the overtaking is complete and sufficient distance from the overtaken vehicle is achieved, use the turn signal to merge back into the original lane.
