What is the proper headlight usage when following another vehicle at night?

Using low beams while following another vehicle at night is essential for safety and visibility. When you are within a certain distance, specifically 150 meters, using high beams can create glare for the driver of the vehicle in front of you, impairing their ability to see the road ahead and react to any potential hazards.

By using low beams instead, you ensure that you do not blind the other driver while still providing adequate illumination to see the road and any obstacles that may lie ahead. This practice also aligns with the law that emphasizes using low beams when within a specified distance of another vehicle, which promotes safer driving conditions for everyone on the road.

Maintaining a safe following distance and using low beams helps foster a more secure driving environment during the night, reducing the risk of accidents caused by decreased visibility.
