What Does It Mean When the Illumination Distance of Vehicle Lights Changes from Near to Far at Night?
1 Answers
When the illumination distance of vehicle lights changes from near to far at night, it indicates that the vehicle may have entered a downhill slope, or transitioned from a curved road to a straight road. It could also mean the slope has changed from a gentle downhill to a steep downhill, or the vehicle is moving from a downhill slope onto a flat road. Precautions for Nighttime Driving: Reduce speed. Visibility at night is not as good as during the day, so drive slowly and maintain an appropriate speed. Use high and low beams correctly. Use low beams during normal driving to avoid inconveniencing oncoming vehicles. Switch to high beams when turning or going uphill to signal the presence of your vehicle to others. Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Poor visibility and slower reaction times at night increase the risk of rear-end collisions if following too closely, so keep an appropriate distance. Use the horn when necessary. Be alert for pedestrians crossing the road at night and use the horn or flash lights to warn them in advance. Avoid unnecessary overtaking. Overtaking at night should be done cautiously, ensuring sufficient straight-line distance and avoiding curves. Before overtaking, approach the vehicle ahead and use light signals to indicate your intention to pass, waiting for them to yield before accelerating.
