What lights to use for a left turn at night?
1 Answers
When making a left turn at night on a well-lit road, use the low beam and left turn signal. In situations with poor road visibility, you can turn on the high beam while also activating the left turn signal. Regardless of whether it's day or night, always use the corresponding turn signal when turning. According to vehicle lighting regulations, during nighttime when streetlights are on, or when driving under low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, the headlights, position lights, and rear lights should be turned on. When turning, changing lanes, overtaking, making a U-turn, or pulling over, the turn signal should be activated 100 to 50 meters in advance. When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals and makes a left turn, the turn signal should be activated, and the low beam should be used at night. When a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, the high beam should not be used. Using the turn signal when turning at an intersection is the most basic traffic knowledge. Activating the turn signal alerts vehicles and pedestrians behind, letting them know your intended path, which enhances safety. The turn signal is a crucial communication tool between vehicles. For safety, always signal your turns in advance.
