Is it acceptable to use parking lights when entering a tunnel?
1 Answers
Short tunnels are acceptable, but it is recommended to use low beams in long tunnels. Here is relevant information about the use of automotive lights: 1. Parking lights usage: Parking lights are white in front and red in the rear. When the light switch is turned to the first position, the front and rear lights that come on are the parking lights. Parking lights are used during evening driving to make the vehicle visible to others. When it becomes difficult to see behind through the rearview mirror, the parking lights should be turned on, especially during rainy days. However, many drivers use parking lights instead of low beams when driving in the dark, which is very dangerous because parking lights do not illuminate the road ahead. 2. Low beam usage: Low beams must be turned on when driving in areas without streetlights at night, during dusk when it is darker, or at dawn when daylight is just appearing. If encountering heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain that obstructs visibility, low beams must be turned on even during the day. In some areas where there is lighting but the brightness is insufficient, low beams should also be used. 3. High beam usage: High beams should only be used when there are no other lighting facilities on the road and no oncoming vehicles. Otherwise, they can severely interfere with the vision of other drivers and even cause traffic accidents. Be careful not to mistakenly use high beams instead of low beams.
