Should You Use Low Beam or High Beam at Night?

[SanDaniel]

When driving at night, it is sufficient to use low beams under good lighting conditions. There is a control lever on the left side of the steering wheel, which usually has a knob with at least two settings. Turning the knob to the first setting turns on the parking lights, turning it to the second setting activates the parking lights plus low beams, pushing the lever downward turns on the high beams, but you must first turn on the parking lights. Lifting the lever serves as a passing signal. The appropriate usage scenarios for high and low beams are as follows: Low Beam: When encountering oncoming vehicles, use low beams for safety and courtesy. High Beam: High beams can be used on highways or in rural areas without streetlights to expand the field of vision. However, when driving at low speeds, the engine generates insufficient power, and the battery is in a state of negative charge, which can affect its lifespan if high beams are used. Additionally, using high beams during low-speed nighttime driving increases fuel consumption.
