When you see a cyclist approaching at night, you should NOT:
|
Be careful.
|
|
|
Avoid honking your horn.
|
|
|
Use low beam headlights.
|
|
|
Use high beam headlights.
|
Explanation
While driving at night, drivers are only allowed to use high beam headlights if they do not see an oncoming vehicle or bicycle and if they are not following another car. Improper use of high beam headlights can reduce the visibility for other drivers and cyclists. You should dim your high beams before approaching an oncoming vehicle and use your low beams when following another vehicle.
