When to Use High Beam Headlights?

[JessicaFitz]

High beam headlights are used in the following situations: 1. On roads without street lighting or with poor illumination, high beams can be used. 2. When unfamiliar with the road conditions and needing to read road signs or other markers, high beams can be used but should be quickly switched back to low beams. 3. When overtaking another vehicle, the driver should turn on the left turn signal in advance and switch between high and low beams or honk the horn to alert the vehicle ahead to yield. 4. When passing through corners, curves, or intersections without traffic signals, switching between high and low beams can serve as a warning. 5. When driving at night without street lighting, under poor illumination, or in low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, the vehicle should turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear lights. However, high beams should not be used when a following vehicle is driving closely behind another vehicle in the same direction. In foggy conditions, the vehicle should turn on the fog lights and hazard warning flashers. When entering a tunnel, high beams should be turned on, but they should be switched to low beams in advance when encountering oncoming vehicles.
