Is It Correct to Use Low Beams When Passing Through an Unsignalized Intersection at Night?

[Jeanette]

When passing through an unsignalized intersection at night, you should not use low beams. Instead, you should alternately switch between high and low beams to signal and pay close attention to the traffic ahead. Below are the guidelines for using lights at night: When to use low beams: You should use low beams when driving on well-lit roads; when following another vehicle, low beams are also necessary to allow the vehicle ahead to observe the situation behind through the rearview mirror; when meeting an oncoming vehicle within 150 meters, you should switch from high beams to low beams. When to alternate between high and low beams: When driving at night and encountering slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, sharp curves, or when overtaking another vehicle, you should alternate between high and low beams. When to use high beams: When driving at night in low visibility conditions and not following another vehicle, you should use high beams. If you are following another vehicle, you should switch to low beams.
