Is Using High Beams on the Highway Considered a Traffic Violation?

[SarahMarie]

Highway lighting conditions are relatively poor, so appropriately using high beams is not considered a traffic violation. Below are relevant details about headlight usage: Introduction to Turning on Position Lights: Since it's nighttime driving, whether on highways or regular roads, position lights must be turned on. Position lights, also known as parking lights, illuminate the front and rear position lights as well as the rear license plate light when activated. Use of High Beams: The median barriers on highways are taller than those on urban roads, and the distance between vehicles is greater. Therefore, high beams can be used when there are no vehicles ahead while driving at high speeds. However, when overtaking, drivers should switch from high beams to low beams in advance, activate the turn signal, and make their position and intentions clear to the vehicle ahead.
