What lights to use when approaching an intersection?
1 Answers
When driving straight through an intersection with traffic signals, use low beam headlights. When approaching an intersection without traffic signals, alternately switch between high and low beams at least twice, slow down in advance, and pay close attention to the traffic ahead. Here are specific details: 1. When overtaking: At night, turn on the turn signal in advance and observe the vehicles behind. If the following vehicle is too close, it is not advisable to overtake with the turn signal on, as this may catch the following vehicle off guard. 2. When changing lanes: To prevent the vehicle ahead from changing lanes while overtaking, try to alert them by honking or quickly switching between high and low beams. Observe the vehicle ahead; if there is no intention to change lanes, you can accelerate to overtake. If the vehicle ahead turns on the left turn signal, it indicates an emergency situation ahead, making it not an ideal time to overtake, as the vehicle may also need to change lanes.
