Is the Illumination Distance of Vehicle Lights from Far to Near at Night?
1 Answers
When driving at night, the illumination distance of vehicle lights is not from far to near, but from near to far. Below are specific hazards of indiscriminate use of high beams while driving: Instant Blindness: During nighttime encounters, the dazzling light from high beams can cause instant blindness to the vision of oncoming drivers. The duration of blindness varies depending on the driver's own eyesight and the surrounding environment, lasting about 2 seconds, significantly reducing the ability to observe pedestrians and vehicles in the vicinity. Inability to Observe When Rear Vehicles Use High Beams: When a rear vehicle turns on high beams, large areas of glare appear in the three rearview mirrors of the front vehicle. The glare in the front mirrors reduces the visible range of the road ahead.
