At what distances must you dim high beams for an oncoming vehicle and for a vehicle you are following, apart from the statutory passing exception?
Correct answer: 500 feet oncoming and 300 feet following
Why
Use the lower beam within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle and within 300 feet when following another vehicle, subject to the statute’s overtaking-and-passing exception. Dim sooner if necessary to avoid glare, and use low beams in fog or other conditions where high beams reduce visibility.
