Explanation
Due to reduced visibility and the potential glare from oncoming headlights, night driving demands specific precautions. High beams should only be used in rural areas and when other vehicles are not nearby. When driving behind another vehicle at night, you should use your low beams. You should dim your headlights when within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle to prevent blinding the other driver. Similarly, lower your headlights when following closely (within 200 feet) behind another vehicle.
