Is it not allowed to use high beams on highways?

High beams can be used on highways, but when a following vehicle is driving closely behind a preceding vehicle in the same direction, high beams should not be used. Precautions for using high beams on highways include: 1. When driving behind another vehicle, in order not to affect the driver ahead, turn off high beams and maintain sufficient distance. 2. When preparing to overtake, turn off high beams and activate the overtaking signal to alert the vehicle ahead. After completing the overtaking maneuver, you may return to the original lane and turn high beams back on to continue driving. 3. When entering toll stations or service areas, reduce speed and turn off high beams. 4. In poor road conditions, using high beams can help ensure driving safety.

On the highway, you can't use high beams casually, which is very important. From my driving experience, traffic rules clearly state that you must switch to low beams when there are oncoming vehicles or vehicles ahead, otherwise it can cause glare and accidents. While visibility is good on highways, many sections have streetlights, making high beams unnecessary; on dark, unlit suburban sections, briefly using high beams when no vehicles are approaching can improve visibility and safety. During foggy nights, high beams cause severe glare, reducing visibility and increasing danger, so you should slow down and use low beams. I often remind myself to switch beams properly to avoid endangering others due to momentary negligence—this is basic driving etiquette, and regularly checking your headlights also helps prevent issues.

Using high beams on highways requires caution, and I always prioritize safety while driving. Avoid turning them on when there's traffic, as it can blind other drivers and increase the risk of collisions. According to regulations, you must switch off high beams when encountering oncoming vehicles or following too closely behind another car; they should only be used occasionally on dark, open stretches to improve visibility. Many sections of highways are well-lit with streetlights, making high beams unnecessary and even redundant. In foggy conditions, it's worse—light reflection can severely reduce visibility. Remember, proper use of headlights ensures smoother night driving and minimizes trouble.

Using high beams on highways isn't something you should do casually. During my long-distance drives, I've noticed that you must switch back to low beams when there's oncoming traffic - otherwise you'll instantly dazzle other drivers, which could easily lead to serious accidents. The rules require avoiding high beams when they might disturb others; on illuminated highway sections or during hazy weather, it's best not to touch that high beam button at all. Brief use in completely dark, vehicle-free areas might be acceptable, but you must always be ready to switch back immediately. This habit protects everyone's safety, and I make a point of cultivating it.
