Under what circumstances is the use of high beams prohibited?

[RonanLynn]

When a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, the use of high beams is prohibited. Using high beams on poorly lit roads: On roads without street lighting or with poor lighting, high beams may be used. However, when encountering other vehicles or pedestrians, switch to low beams to prevent glare. When unfamiliar with the road conditions and needing to read road signs or other markers, high beams may be used but should be quickly switched back to low beams. Using high beams in low visibility conditions: When driving at night on roads without street lighting, with poor lighting, or in conditions of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, vehicles should turn on headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights. However, when a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, the use of high beams is prohibited. Vehicles driving in fog should turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers. When entering a tunnel, use high beams, but switch to low beams in advance when encountering oncoming vehicles.
