it is acceptable to use your high beams?
Yes, you can use your high beams for driving in the night
NO, unless it's foggy
Never acceptable if there is a car coming toward you whose beams you can see.
It pisses the person in front of you
If you can't see anyone else's beams...go for it.
It always pisses me off lol
It's usually used for foggy days though.
500 feet I think in America. this seems like it's for Australia: Using high and low beam About a third of crashes occur at night, so it's important to know when and how to use your low beam, high beam and fog lights. 1. Fog lights If your vehicle has fog lights, turn them on in fog only. They shine low and wide to help you see the road in fog, while the powerful red lights at the rear help the drivers behind to see your vehicle sooner. Switch off your fog lights once visibility is clear as they can blind other drivers. 2. Headlights You must switch on your headlights when driving between sunset and sunrise, or any other time when there is not enough daylight to be able to see a person wearing dark clothing at a distance of 100 metres. Don't drive with high beam on during the day. 3. Extreme conditions In extreme conditions, such as heavy rain, fog or snow, put your headlights on to low beam. High beam in fog will reflect the light, making it difficult to see. In very poor visibility, the law permits you to turn on your hazard lights to help others see you. 4. High beam You can use high beam lights on any road, even if there are street lights. However, you must dip your headlights to low beam when a vehicle coming toward you is within 200 metres and when driving 200 metres or less behind another vehicle.
This seems like it's for Canada :)
