When to Use High Beams in a Car?

[VonAshley]

Scenarios for using high beams in a car: High beams should be used on roads at night without streetlights or with poor lighting; on sparsely trafficked roads, when passing corners, curves, or intersections without traffic signals, reduce speed and alternately switch between high and low beams as a warning. Urban roads typically have streetlights, so high beams are rarely needed, generally only in remote areas or on highways. After turning on the high beams, don't forget to switch them off when necessary. Not switching to low beams when meeting another vehicle on regular roads can make it nearly impossible for the oncoming driver to see anything, effectively driving blind. This is extremely dangerous if there are pedestrians crossing the road, obstacles ahead, or non-motorized vehicles, as they become virtually invisible. Using high beams when too close to the car ahead can also dazzle the driver, impairing their vision and reducing the visible range ahead. Especially when changing lanes, it becomes harder to see the situation of vehicles behind and judge the distance accurately.
