How to Use High Beam Headlights?

How to use high beam headlights: 1. Understand when to turn on high beams. According to Article 48 of China's "Road Traffic Safety Law": High beams should not be used on roads with streetlights or other good lighting conditions. 2. Decide whether to use high beams based on road conditions. When driving on main urban roads, even at midnight, road lighting is usually sufficient, so high beams are unnecessary. On mountain roads or rural areas, turn on high beams after dusk to prevent accidents. 3. Turn off high beams when meeting oncoming vehicles. Article 48 also states: Vehicles using high beams should switch to low beams at least 150M before encountering another vehicle. 4. Alternate between high and low beams. On poorly lit roads with frequent oncoming traffic, flashing between high and low beams can alert other drivers without blinding them. This is especially important on two-way roads without median barriers. 5. Avoid high beams in foggy conditions. Fog reduces light transparency, causing light diffusion that reduces visibility and endangers oncoming traffic. 6. Adjust high beam height. Many SUVs and off-road vehicles have taller bodies, making their high beams shine farther and brighter, potentially affecting other drivers more significantly.
