Why Shouldn't You Use High Beams While Driving?

[MacEmma]

Here are the specific hazards of using high beams while driving: 1. Instant Blindness: During nighttime encounters, the dazzling light from high beams can cause temporary blindness to oncoming drivers. The duration of this blindness varies depending on the driver's vision and surrounding environment, typically lasting around 2 seconds, significantly reducing the ability to observe pedestrians and vehicles ahead or behind. 2. Reduced Perception of Speed and Distance: Poor nighttime visibility combined with the interference from high beams accelerates the decline in this judgment. 3. Inability to Observe Through Rearview Mirrors When Rear Vehicles Use High Beams: When a vehicle behind turns on high beams, large areas of glare appear in all three rearview mirrors of the vehicle in front. The glare from these three mirrors reduces the visible range of the road ahead.
