Which Light is the Overtaking Light?
1 Answers
The overtaking light is the one that activates the high beam when pressed and automatically turns off when released. Signal Lights: Includes turn signals (hazard lights) and brake lights. Proper use of signal lights is crucial for safe driving. Turn Signals: Activated when the vehicle is turning, they flash intermittently to alert vehicles and pedestrians around. Brake Lights: These are highly bright and used to inform the following vehicle that the front vehicle is slowing down or stopping. Improper use of these lights can easily lead to rear-end collisions. Night Running Lights and Width Lights: Running lights, commonly known as headlights, should be used appropriately by switching to low beam during oncoming traffic and back to high beam afterward to extend visibility and compensate for the reduced visibility during oncoming traffic. Changing between high and low beams should be used to alert when passing intersections or overtaking. Width lights, commonly known as parking lights, are used to display the width and length of the vehicle at night.
