Is it permissible to use high beams on highways?
1 Answers
High beams can be used on highways. When driving on highways, due to high speeds, absence of streetlights, and poor visibility, failure to use high beams may prevent timely and clear observation of road conditions ahead, potentially leading to traffic accidents. High beams adjust the intensity of light based on the distance of the filament. The light from high beams is emitted parallel from their focal point, making it more concentrated and brighter, capable of illuminating distant and high objects. The hazards of indiscriminate use of high beams include: 1. Creating visual blind spots; 2. Causing accidents; 3. Leading to driver errors. Measures to counteract indiscriminate use of high beams include: 1. Adjusting the rearview mirror direction; 2. Applying the brakes intermittently; 3. Installing anti-glare rearview mirrors.
