Will You Be Fined for Using High Beams While Driving in the City?

[Prim]

Generally, using high beams while driving in the city will result in a fine and a deduction of 1 point. Below are the reasons why you should avoid using high beams in urban areas and the relevant regulations: Reasons to Avoid High Beams in the City: It is best not to use high beams when driving in the city because urban areas usually have good lighting conditions. High beams are angled too high, which can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, impairing their vision and creating unsafe conditions. It is also considered impolite driving behavior. Relevant Regulations: The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly stipulates the use of lights during nighttime driving. When meeting another vehicle on a road without a central divider or centerline, high beams must not be used within 150 meters of the oncoming vehicle. Additionally, high beams must not be used when driving at night on roads without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low-visibility situations such as fog, rain, snow, or dust, or when a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle ahead in the same direction.
