When Should High Beams Be Turned On?

[Luke]

High beams should be used on roads at night without streetlights or with poor lighting. Here is some relevant information about high beams: 1. High beams have a range of over a hundred meters, providing strong illumination and expanding the field of vision. However, the dazzling white light of high beams can cause dizziness for oncoming drivers and create a temporary blind spot for a few seconds. 2. When meeting an oncoming vehicle, switch to low beams at least 150 meters away. Similarly, switch to low beams when within 100 meters of a vehicle traveling in the same direction. Use low beams when overtaking. 3. On roads with sparse traffic, when passing corners, curves, or unsignalized intersections, reduce speed and alternately use high and low beams as a warning.
