At what distance must high beam headlights be dimmed when meeting oncoming traffic?

300 ft
400 ft
500 ft
600 ft

The correct answer is: 500 ft

High beam headlights must be dimmed when meeting oncoming traffic at a distance of 500 feet to ensure the safety and visibility for all drivers. High beams are designed to illuminate the road much further ahead than low beams, which can cause glare and temporary blindness for drivers approaching in the opposite direction. By adhering to the guideline of dimming the high beams at 500 feet, you allow the oncoming driver to maintain a clear line of sight without the disruptive glare that high beams would cause. This practice promotes safe driving conditions for everyone on the road. In general, it is important for drivers to be aware of their surroundings and adjust their headlights according to traffic conditions to promote safety and avoid accidents.
