What Lights Should Be Used When Driving on the Highway at Night?
1 Answers
When driving on the highway at night, you should turn on the width indicator lights, high and low beam headlights, and turn signals. Below is a detailed introduction to the use of lights on highways: 1. Width indicator lights. When driving at night, whether on the highway or ordinary roads, the width indicator lights must be turned on. These are small lights that, when activated, illuminate the front and rear width indicator lights as well as the rear license plate light. 2. High and low beam headlights. You can use high beams when driving on the highway at night, but it's important to use them appropriately. If the distance to the vehicle ahead is large, exceeding 150 meters, you can use high beams; when the distance decreases, you should switch to low beams. When meeting another vehicle on the highway, if the central divider can completely block the light, you can keep the high beams on; but if grass, roadside trees, or metal railings cannot fully block the light, you should switch to low beams when the distance between the two vehicles is 150 meters. 3. Turn signals. Turn signals must be used when changing lanes, overtaking, entering, or exiting the highway on the highway, and you should only change lanes after ensuring it is safe to do so, to prevent vehicles behind or in adjacent lanes from reacting in time.
