Should You Use High Beam or Low Beam When Driving at Night?

[DiEmery]

Whether to use high beam or low beam when driving at night depends on the driving conditions. When to use high beam: After dark, turn on the headlights. If you need to overtake, when you are 80 meters away from the vehicle in front, turn on the turn signal and turn off the high beam. When you are 30-50 meters away from the vehicle you want to overtake, flash the high beam a few times to signal your intention to overtake. After overtaking the vehicle, turn on the high beam again. When driving at night with no vehicles traveling in the same direction ahead, turn on the high beam. Precautions for using headlights: When meeting or overtaking vehicles at night, always remember to turn off the high beam, as keeping it on can easily irritate the other driver and cause visual fatigue. Flashing the headlights when overtaking can better attract the attention of the driver being overtaken.
