Use high beams when you are within 100 feet of the vehicle ahead.
|
|
|
Use headlights between the hours of sunset and sunrise.
|
|
|
Don’t look directly at oncoming headlights.
|
Explanation
While driving at night, you must take extra care because visibility is reduced, and the glare from other headlights can impair your vision. You should always use your headlights between sunset and sunrise, but avoid using high beams within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or 300 feet of the vehicle ahead of you. Avoid looking directly at oncoming headlights; instead, use the lane lines as visual guides and glance quickly to check the other vehicle’s position every few seconds.
