When driving behind another vehicle at night, use low beam headlights. Here are the specific instructions for using low beam headlights: 1. Following another vehicle: When driving behind another vehicle at night, turn off the high beam headlights and turn on the low beam headlights. If high beams are used, the driver in front will not be able to observe the situation behind through the rearview and side mirrors. 2. Meeting oncoming traffic or at intersections: When meeting oncoming traffic or when there is an approaching vehicle, turn off the high beams. High beams can make it difficult for the oncoming driver to see the road ahead, which can easily lead to accidents. If the oncoming vehicle does not turn off its high beams, you can alternately switch between high and low beams to signal them to turn off the high beams. When passing through a dimly lit intersection, alternately switch between high and low beams and honk the horn. 3. Overtaking: When preparing to overtake, first alternately switch between high and low beams and honk the horn to alert the vehicle in front of your intention to overtake. Then, turn on the left turn signal, check the situation behind you, and if there is no oncoming traffic, change lanes to the left, accelerate, and overtake.
