At what distances must Maine drivers dim high beams for an oncoming vehicle and a vehicle they are following?
Correct answer: Within 500 feet oncoming and 300 feet following
Why
Dim the headlights or switch to low beam when approaching an oncoming vehicle within 500 feet or following a vehicle within 300 feet. The provision also requires turning off an allowed fog light unless it was installed by the manufacturer when the vehicle was originally manufactured. Avoid dazzling other road users even before a conflict develops.
