When Can High Beams Be Turned On?

[LaHarley]

High beams should be used on roads at night without streetlights or with poor lighting. On roads with sparse traffic, when navigating corners, curves, or unsignalized intersections, reduce speed and alternately switch between high and low beams as a warning. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Urban roads are usually equipped with streetlights, so high beams are rarely needed; they are typically used only in remote areas or on highways. However, after turning on high beams, do not forget to switch them off when necessary. Failing to switch from high beams when meeting oncoming vehicles on regular roads can make it nearly impossible for the other driver to see clearly, essentially driving blind. Pedestrians crossing the road, obstacles ahead, or non-motorized vehicles become invisible, posing significant danger. 2. If high beams are used when following another vehicle too closely, the glare can impair the vision of the driver ahead, reducing their visibility range. This is especially problematic when changing lanes, as it becomes difficult to see the situation behind or judge distances accurately.
