According to the Mississippi handbook, when should you switch to low beams as you approach an oncoming vehicle or follow another vehicle at night?
Two separate night-driving examples show A approaching oncoming B, and C following D. No headlight distance is labeled in the question image.
Correct answer: Within 500 feet in either case.
Why
The Mississippi handbook directs low beams within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle and within 500 feet when following another vehicle. High beams can dazzle an oncoming driver or reflect into the mirrors of a driver ahead.
