Explanation
You must be more alert when driving at night, as visibility is reduced by darkness and possibly fog. Always use low beam headlights to avoid blinding oncoming drivers, and rely on the road’s edge lines to help you stay on track (do not look directly at oncoming headlights). High-beam headlights may only be used when no other vehicles are approaching or preceding you. If you are coming from a brightly lit area into a dark one, slow down and allow your eyes to adjust to the change in lighting.
