How to Use Lights at Poorly Lit Intersections?
1 Answers
At poorly lit intersections, high beams should be used. However, when following another vehicle on a normally lit road where the leading vehicle is using high beams, the trailing vehicle should switch to low beams while following. Below are precautions for using high beams: 1. Switch to low beams during oncoming traffic: When using high beams and encountering oncoming traffic, switch to low beams. The specific distance varies but generally should be done 150-200 meters away. You may switch back to high beams after the vehicles pass each other. 2. Do not use high beams under streetlights: High beams should not be used when driving at night on roads with streetlights. 3. Overtaking: When driving with high beams at night and needing to overtake, switch to low beams at least 100 meters in advance and activate the overtaking signal by quickly flicking the beam lever upward 2-3 times while on low beams.
