Explanation
As a driver, it's important to know when to use high beams and when to switch to low beams to ensure your own safety and the safety of others on the road. When driving at night, you should use your headlights from sunset to sunrise to improve your visibility. However, when meeting an oncoming vehicle, you must dim your bright lights 500 feet before reaching the other vehicle. This will prevent you from blinding the other driver and reduce the risk of accidents. Similarly, when passing another vehicle, you should switch to low beams 300 feet before passing.
