Should You Use High Beam or Low Beam on the Highway at Night?
1 Answers
You should use high beam on the highway at night for the following reasons: 1. Vehicles travel at high speeds on the highway, and the distance between cars is relatively large. Low beams typically only illuminate about 30 meters ahead, making it difficult to assess road conditions further ahead. 2. Highways generally lack streetlights, so in case of emergencies ahead, it's challenging to react promptly. Driving at high speeds with low beams can be dangerous. However, not all sections of the highway require high beams. You should switch to low beams under the following circumstances: 1. When the distance to the vehicle ahead is relatively close, as high beams can impair the vision of the driver in front. 2. When overtaking or making a turn, you should use low beams along with turn signals to communicate your intentions to other drivers and provide a clear indication to those behind you during turns.
