Is it illegal to use high beams on the highway?
1 Answers
Using high beams on the highway is not illegal. Below 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 on the road, such as bushes or dividers. However, it is important to note that the barrier must be continuous and opaque. If the barrier consists of spaced-out objects like trees, you should switch to low beams in time. The maximum range of high beams is generally 120 meters, so you should switch to low beams when an oncoming vehicle is within 150 meters. You can use high beams when the distance to the vehicle in front exceeds 150 meters. Situations where high beams should not be used: When following another vehicle, you should turn off high beams and maintain a sufficient distance to avoid affecting the driver ahead. When preparing to overtake, turn off high beams and use the overtaking signal to alert the vehicle in front. After completing the overtaking maneuver, you can return to your original lane and resume using high beams. When entering a toll booth or service area, reduce speed and turn off high beams. When passing through an interchange or intersection. Continuous turns are not allowed with high beams on; please reduce speed.
