Should You Use High Beams or Low Beams on Highways at Night?
1 Answers
When driving on highways at night, you should use high beams, but switch to low beams when you are close to the vehicle ahead or when meeting oncoming traffic. Due to the high speed of driving, there is a requirement for visibility distance. In a relatively unlit and less crowded nighttime environment, high beams are essential for ensuring adequate visibility. Here are some precautions for driving on highways: 1. Avoid fatigue driving: Fatigue driving is extremely dangerous on highways. Once fatigued, your reaction time decreases, making it difficult to respond correctly to sudden situations. 2. Stay focused: Although driving on highways is relatively smooth, some drivers tend to get distracted, looking around, which is very dangerous. If another vehicle approaches, panic can easily lead to accidents like scratches. 3. Do not drive in the wrong lane: Highways have clearly marked lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. When overtaking, once you occupy a certain lane, return to the appropriate lane promptly after completing the overtaking maneuver. Do not occupy other lanes for extended periods. 4. Maintain a reasonable speed: The increasing incidents of rear-end collisions and rollovers on highways are mainly due to speeding, so do not exceed the speed limit.
