What Lights to Use on Highways at Night?

[Ayla]

When driving on highways at night, the use of lights should be determined based on different actual situations: 1. During normal driving, turn on the night lights and width indicator lights. If there are no vehicles ahead and no lighting, you can appropriately use the high beams to briefly observe the road and surrounding conditions at a farther distance, then quickly switch back to low beams. 2. When meeting another vehicle, alternate between high and low beams. If there is a vehicle ahead or an oncoming vehicle, remember to switch from high beams to low beams. 3. When overtaking, switch from high beams to low beams in advance. If you intend to overtake, turn on the turn signal (left blinker) when you are 80 meters away from the vehicle ahead, and turn off the high beams. When you are 30-50 meters away from the vehicle to be overtaken, flash the high beams a few times to signal your intention to overtake. 4. In foggy conditions, if visibility is less than 200 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beams, clearance lights, and front and rear position lights. If visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beams, clearance lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. If visibility is less than 50 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beams, clearance lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers, and do not exceed 20 kilometers per hour. Exit the highway at the nearest exit as soon as possible.
