Explanation
When driving at night, use your low-beam headlights whenever other vehicles are nearby. While high beams provide better visibility on open roads, they can temporarily blind oncoming drivers or those ahead of you. Do not use high beams when you are following another vehicle or approaching traffic from the opposite direction. Use high beams only in rural or open areas with no nearby traffic.
