Takeaways

• 😀 The high beams (long-range lights) should be turned off when driving toward oncoming vehicles to avoid dazzling them. Use low beams (short-range lights) instead.
• 😀 Front fog lights are optional, but if equipped, they should be used in adverse conditions like fog, smoke, dust, snow, or heavy rain. They can also be helpful on narrow, curved roads.
• 😀 Rear fog lights are mandatory in severe conditions such as dense fog, heavy rain, or snow. They should always be activated when those conditions are present.
• 😀 The front fog lights should not be used in normal conditions, as they can dazzle other drivers. They should be activated only under conditions that impair visibility.
• 😀 Vehicles with adjustable headlights can lower the light beam if the rear of the car is heavily loaded, preventing the headlights from dazzling other drivers.
• 😀 If you're dazzled by an oncoming vehicle's high beams, look toward the unlit roadside or the shoulder to reduce glare, and slow down if necessary.
• 😀 Rearview mirrors may have an anti-glare feature to reduce the impact of bright headlights from vehicles behind you, either through manual adjustment or automatic sensors.
• 😀 Emergency lights (four-way flashers) should be used in emergency situations, such as during a breakdown, medical emergency, or to indicate you’re driving slowly in heavy traffic.
• 😀 The interior cabin light can be used for reading or visibility inside the car. The rear license plate has its own light, which is activated when the position lights are turned on.
• 😀 Reflective markers, such as reflectors on vehicles or bicycles, do not emit light but reflect the light from other vehicles' headlights to improve visibility. They are red at the rear, white at the front, and amber on the sides.

Q & A

When should you use high beams (long-range lights) in your vehicle?

You should use high beams when there are no vehicles in front of you, as they provide better visibility for longer distances. However, you must switch to low beams (short-range lights) if an oncoming vehicle approaches to avoid dazzling the other driver.

What is the purpose of short-range (low beam) lights?

Short-range lights are used in normal driving conditions to illuminate the road ahead without dazzling other drivers. These lights are designed to light up a shorter distance in front of your vehicle.

What should you do if another driver dazzles you with their high beams?

If another driver dazzles you with their high beams, you can look towards an area not illuminated, such as the roadside, until the vehicle passes. Afterward, you can resume looking ahead.

What is the function of rear fog lights, and when should they be used?

Rear fog lights are used in very dense fog, heavy snow, or intense rain to make your vehicle visible to other drivers. They are mandatory in such conditions to avoid accidents due to reduced visibility.

When should you use front fog lights, and are they mandatory?

Front fog lights are not mandatory but should be used in adverse conditions such as fog, smoke, snow, or heavy rain to improve visibility. They are also helpful when driving on narrow roads with curves.

Under what conditions can you use front fog lights, even if there is no fog?

Front fog lights can be used on narrow roads with curves or when the road is less than 6.5 meters wide, to help illuminate the edges of the road and prevent accidents.

What are reflective elements (catadioptrics) on vehicles, and what colors are used?

Reflective elements on vehicles do not emit light but reflect light from other sources. These are typically red on the rear of the vehicle, white on the front, and orange (or yellow) on the sides.

What should you do if your vehicle is carrying a heavy load and the headlights start dazzling other drivers?

If your vehicle is carrying a heavy load and the headlights are angled upward, causing them to dazzle other drivers, you should adjust the headlight angle using the vehicle's headlight control to lower the beams.

When should you activate emergency lights in your vehicle?

You should activate emergency lights in situations such as when you are moving slowly due to a breakdown, an emergency, or if you are an obstacle on the road. It also helps in situations like heavy traffic to alert other drivers of a queue.

What is the importance of using emergency lights in a traffic jam?

In a traffic jam, activating emergency lights alerts drivers approaching from behind that there is a queue of cars, helping them adjust their speed or avoid collisions. It also signals that the last car in the queue might need to maneuver for emergency situations.
