What Lights to Use When Driving at Poorly Lit Intersections?

[WalterRose]

When driving on roads with poor lighting, drivers should turn on the high beam headlights. However, when an oncoming vehicle approaches, the high beams should be switched off in advance, and the low beam headlights should be turned on instead. Precautions for using high beams: High beam headlights are generally suitable for motor vehicles driving at night on roads without streetlights or with poor lighting, such as on dimly lit national highways or expressways. In urban areas where lighting is adequate, low beam headlights should be used. Relevant regulations: The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates the use of lights for nighttime driving. When meeting another vehicle on a road without a central divider or centerline, high beams must not be used within 150 meters of the oncoming vehicle. Additionally, when driving at night without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low visibility situations such as fog, rain, snow, or dust, high beams must not be used when a following vehicle is driving closely behind the vehicle in front in the same direction.
