Explanation
It is important to be considerate when using high beams, especially when approaching other vehicles. Bright lights can temporarily blind other drivers. To prevent this, drivers must dim their headlights and switch to low beams when they are within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle, or 300 feet before passing a vehicle.
