Under what condition is it appropriate to use high beams at night?

Using high beams at night is appropriate when there are no oncoming vehicles and better visibility is needed. High beams provide a greater distance of light, which significantly improves a motorcyclist's ability to see obstacles, road signs, and potential hazards. In open areas where there are no other vehicles, utilizing high beams can enhance safety by allowing for earlier detection of dangers.

It’s important to use high beams responsibly to avoid blinding or distracting other drivers. In situations where there are numerous vehicles around, utilizing high beams would not be advisable as they could impede the visibility of other drivers. Similarly, in well-lit areas, the road is typically adequately illuminated, making the use of high beams unnecessary. Lastly, driving through tunnels does not generally call for high beams either; instead, they might create glare against the walls of the tunnel, which could be dangerous. Thus, using high beams in situations where they are most beneficial, while being mindful of others on the road, is paramount for safety.
