What lights should be used on highways at night?
1 Answers
Highway driving at night allows the use of high beams, but they should be used appropriately in combination with low beams. Below are the relevant introductions to vehicle lights: 1. Position lights: Since it is nighttime driving, whether on highways or regular roads, position lights must be turned on. Position lights, also known as small lights, when activated, will illuminate the front and rear position lights as well as the rear license plate light. 2. High and low beams: The use of high and low beams during nighttime highway driving is a common area of misunderstanding for many beginners. High beams can be used on highways at night, but they should be used appropriately in combination with low beams. When the distance to the vehicle ahead is significant, exceeding 150 meters, high beams can be used; when the distance to the vehicle ahead decreases, switch back to low beams. 3. Turn signals: Turn signals should be used when changing lanes, overtaking, entering or exiting the highway, and lane changes should only be made after observing that it is safe to do so, to prevent vehicles in the rear or adjacent lanes from reacting in time.
