Is it illegal if one headlight is broken?
1 Answers
Having a broken headlight poses certain safety hazards. During daytime, drivers may primarily receive a warning. However, at night, it can easily affect the driving safety of other vehicles and may result in a fine. Below is relevant information about headlights: 1. Regulations: According to Article 21 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, before driving a motor vehicle on the road, the driver must carefully inspect the vehicle's safety technical performance; it is prohibited to drive a motor vehicle with incomplete safety facilities or components that do not meet technical standards and pose safety hazards. Otherwise, in accordance with Article 58, Clause 17 of the Road Traffic Safety Regulations, driving a motor vehicle with incomplete safety facilities or components that do not meet technical standards and pose safety hazards may result in a warning or a fine. 2. Headlights: Headlights have two modes: high beam and low beam. Use low beam on urban roads with streetlights, and switch to high beam on roads without streetlights or highways. When meeting another vehicle, switch from high beam to low beam.
