How to Use High and Low Beam Headlights?
1 Answers
Push the light lever outward to keep the high beams on continuously; then pull it back one notch to return to the low beam position; pulling it back another notch will flash the high beams once, and releasing the lever automatically returns it to the low beam position. Therefore, alternating between high and low beams involves frequently pulling the lever back one notch to make the headlights flash repeatedly. Below is relevant information about high and low beam headlights: 1. The Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that when driving at night, drivers must alternate between high and low beams in the following situations: sharp curves, slopes, overtaking (while also signaling left), arched bridges, pedestrian crossings, and intersections without traffic lights. Additionally, when overtaking at night, drivers must both activate the turn signal and use high-low beam changes to alert the vehicle ahead. When approaching intersections, high-low beam changes must be used to alert vehicles on either side. 2. In fact, when driving on urban roads, most alternations between high and low beams are meant to signal vehicles in the opposite lane to switch to low beams. This is because during nighttime encounters between two vehicles, high beams can cause intense glare, dazzling the other driver and compromising driving safety. Pedestrians on both sides of the road are also affected. Therefore, drivers are advised to use high and low beam headlights appropriately.
