What Lights Should Be Turned On When Driving on Highways at Night?

[VanGarrett]

When driving on highways at night, you should turn on the width-indicating lights, headlights, and use high and low beams appropriately according to the situation. Width-Indicating Lights: Width-indicating lights must be turned on. At the same time, to see the road ahead clearly during night driving, headlights must be turned on. When traffic is sparse and the distance from the car in front is large, use high beams; when traffic converges and the distance from the car in front shortens, switch to low beams. If the car in front does not realize there is a car behind, you can alternately use high and low beams to alert them. Use Turn Signals When Changing Lanes: When changing lanes on highways at night, always use turn signals and observe to ensure it is safe to change lanes before doing so, to prevent vehicles behind or in nearby lanes from reacting in time. Turn On Hazard Warning Lights in Special Situations: When the vehicle breaks down and cannot move or is parked on the emergency lane, hazard warning lights must be turned on. Especially when visibility is low at night, it is best to park the vehicle under a streetlight so that the light fully illuminates your car to alert oncoming vehicles from behind.
