What lights should be used when passing through an intersection at night in Subject 3?

When driving straight through an intersection at night in Subject 3, alternately use the high and low beams at least twice. When driving a motor vehicle in weather with excessively low visibility such as heavy fog or extremely dense fog, first move the vehicle to a safe roadside area or parking lot, and wait until visibility improves before continuing to drive. Additionally, when encountering heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain that obstructs visibility, low beams must be turned on even during the day. Introduction to Subject 3: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, which are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated name for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed for.
I remember feeling quite nervous when crossing intersections at night during my driving test for Subject Three. My instructor taught me to flash the high and low beams alternately a few times, commonly known as the flashing light maneuver. This is to alert other vehicles and pedestrians at the intersection of your presence, as visibility is poor at night and accidents are more likely to happen. The specific method is: first, approach the intersection with low beams on, start flashing the lights about 50 meters before entering the intersection, flash 2-3 times, and then pass through at a steady speed. Never drive all the way with high beams on, as this can blind oncoming drivers and may result in points being deducted during the test. Subject Three focuses on safety awareness, and this simple but crucial maneuver, once habitual, makes everyday driving much safer. If the intersection has a green light or no traffic signal, extra caution is needed—flashing lights and adjusting speed can help you pass the test smoothly, so don’t take it lightly. My driving experience tells me that practicing a few times makes it much easier.
