When passing through a narrow bridge at night, it is best to alternate between high and low beam lights. According to Articles 48, 51, and 58 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when meeting another vehicle at night, switch to low beam lights when the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters away. When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic lights at night, use low beam lights when turning. When a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, use low beam lights. Drive with low beam lights on well-lit roads. When a motor vehicle passes through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic light control at night, alternate between high and low beam lights to signal. When driving in conditions of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear lights. When driving in foggy conditions, turn on the fog lights and hazard warning flashers. Under normal nighttime weather conditions, do not turn on the fog lights, as they can be very glaring to oncoming drivers. When driving in foggy conditions, do not use high beam lights, as the upward-angled light axis causes the light to scatter diffusely in the fog, creating a blinding white haze in front of the vehicle and reducing visibility.
