Will using high beams be captured by traffic cameras?
1 Answers
Using high beams will not be captured by cameras, but traffic police officers can issue penalties during on-site enforcement, which involve fines without demerit points. According to relevant laws and regulations, certain urban intersections are equipped with devices to capture traffic violations involving improper use of high beams. Additional information: As stipulated in Article 58 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": 1. When motor vehicles are driven at night on roads without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low-visibility situations such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, they must turn on headlights, clearance lights, and rear position lights. However, high beams must not be used when following another vehicle closely in the same direction. 2. Motor vehicles driving in foggy conditions must turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers. When passing through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, pedestrian crossings, or uncontrolled intersections at night, motor vehicles should alternately switch between high and low beams as a signal. 3. When approaching sections with limited visibility such as sharp curves or the top of slopes, or when overtaking or encountering emergencies, motor vehicles should reduce speed, proceed with caution, and sound the horn as a warning. In case of a breakdown or accident that obstructs traffic and is difficult to move, motor vehicles must activate hazard warning flashers and place warning signs 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. At night, clearance lights and rear position lights must also be turned on.
