Meizhou traffic police take action to crack down on car owners who turn on high beams, so what are the dangers of turning on high beams?

When driving at night, the oncoming vehicle's dazzling high-beam headlights blinded me instantly and made me unable to judge the road conditions ahead. This is an experience that many drivers have had. Some drivers are angry but still use high beams with a "color" and "light to brighten" attitude, thinking that "you can shine, I am brighter than you" to "return" to the other party. However, they do not know that this will increase the number of traffic accidents on both sides. danger. Traffic accidents caused by careless use of high-beam headlights occur almost every day.

The high beam is one of the important functions on the car. It is opposite to the low beam and is commonly known as the "headlight". Compared with the low beam, the light of the high beam is emitted in parallel, and the light is concentrated and bright. It is larger and can illuminate higher and farther objects, which is of great help to the driver's vision at night. Generally speaking, low beam can only cover up to 50 meters in front of the vehicle, while high beam can reach hundreds of meters or even further.

However, the current phenomenon of misuse of high beams is quite serious. Using high beams at the wrong time will not only not improve driving safety, but will increase the probability of dangerous accidents.

According to the provisions of Article 48 of my country's "Road Traffic Safety Law": high beams should not be turned on when driving on street lights or other well-illuminated roads. Vehicles with high beams on should switch to low beams 150M before meeting another car.

Although everyone is well aware of the adverse effects of not switching lights, there are still some people who insist on driving with high beam regardless of the feelings of others. They may think that as long as they can see the oncoming vehicle clearly, they will not appear. Danger, if you have such thoughts, you are totally wrong.
