Is it illegal to use high beams on the highway?
1 Answers
Using high beams on the highway is not illegal. Here are the situations when you should or should not use high beams: Situations where high beams can be used: When there is a median barrier in the middle of the road, such as bushes or a divider. However, it's important to note that the barrier should be continuous and opaque. If it's a divider with gaps like trees, you should switch to low beams at appropriate times. The maximum range of high beams is generally 120 meters, so you need to switch to low beams when oncoming traffic is within 150 meters. You can use high beams when the distance to the vehicle ahead exceeds 150 meters. Situations where high beams should not be used: When following another vehicle, you should turn off high beams and maintain sufficient distance to avoid affecting the driver ahead. When preparing to overtake, turn off high beams and use turn signals to alert the vehicle ahead. After completing the overtake, you can return to your original lane and resume using high beams. When entering toll stations or service areas, reduce speed and turn off high beams. When passing through ramp intersections. Continuous curves - high beams are not allowed on continuous curves, please reduce speed.
