Should You Use Low Beam or High Beam on the Highway?
1 Answers
On the highway, you should use high beam. The streetlights on highways are not very dense, and visibility is poor. The illumination range of low beam is only about 30 meters, which can easily lead to accidents. In contrast, high beam has a longer illumination range of about 100 meters, providing sufficient distance to handle sudden situations. When the distance to the vehicle ahead is within 100 meters, you should switch to low beam. The control for high and low beams is on the left-hand stalk of the steering wheel. The middle position is for low beam, while the first and third positions are for high beam. High beam should only be used when there are no streetlights and visibility is poor. In most cases, low beam is sufficient, such as on well-lit roads, when two vehicles meet, or when road conditions are good with clear visibility.
