Is it illegal to drive with low beams on during the day?
1 Answers
Related laws and regulations do not explicitly prohibit the use of low beams during the day, so it is permissible to turn on low beams in poor visibility conditions during daylight hours. Low beams are designed for close-range illumination, offering a wider but shorter-range light coverage. Here is additional information: 1. Regulations on using low beams: Regarding situations where low beams should be used, Article 48 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates, "On roads without central barriers or center lines, vehicles meeting at night should switch to low beams when the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters away, and low beams must be used when meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges." 2. Penalties for not using lights at night: According to relevant laws and regulations, failure to use vehicle lights as required may result in a fine of 50 RMB and 1 penalty point.
