The traffic laws vary as to distance in almost ALL states. The reasonable answer is this - - If you can see the lights of the oncoming car, then he can see you and is probably being blinded by your high beams. Dim them whenever you can see oncomiong traffic.

When driving at night it is recommended that you do all of the following except A keep within posted speeds B keep your high beams on C keep windshield wipers off unless needed?
You should NOT keep your high beams on all the time at night. Use them only when needed. Turn them down when there is oncoming traffic; don't blind other drivers, even if separated by a median.
Should you only use your high beams on country roads at nights only?
High beams should be used only when there is no oncoming traffic, fog, snow or heavy rain. The reason for oncoming traffic is obvious - you don't want your lights to cause glare or vision problems for the oncoming drivers.But the reasons for using low beam in fog, snow and heavy rain is because when your lights are on low beam, they are directed downward toward the road, and not directed towards the distance, which enables you to see the road better in poor visibility conditions.Many drivers think low beam is a "dimming" of the lights, but it's actually more of a 'pointing downward' of the beam. So when your lights are in low beam, it gives you greater vision in poor driving conditions by training the lights downward on the road instead of towards the distance.
Can you use your bright headlights on an interstate?
Use of Bright Beam HeadlightsUsually the use of bright beam headlights is allowed on most major highways, with the exception that most traffic codes REQUIRE that they be switched to the low beams when there is oncoming traffic.The purpose of this is to prevent or reduce the glare and chances of "blinding" the driver of oncoming vehicles, and thus to increase safety on the highways.It is not only RUDE AND CRUDE to fail to dim your headlights for oncoming traffic, but it also is usually a violation of the law.
When the low beams are on the high beam indicator is on too?
the high beam indicator is only on when the high beams are on
When do you use high beams?
High beams are just higher-powered/brighter headlights, so they are used when it is dark out, but only when no other vehicles are either in front of you going the same direction or coming from the other direction in the other lane. Usually high beams are used on highways where there are no street lamps, during the late hours of the night when there is little traffic. Also, if it is foggy out, high beams won't help visibility - that's what fog lights are for. Using high beams in fog will make visibility worse.
When turning left at a green light do you stop then go or just go if theres no oncoming traffic?
You continue through the turn but only after you make sure that there is no oncoming traffic. It is your responsibility to yield to vehicles that are coming straight through the intersection.
When you are driving in snow or fog should you use your high beams or low beams?
Low beams - high beams only light up the snow or fog which further impairs vision.
Why was I stopped for using my high beams at night?
High beams should only be used in extreme darkness and only when there is no other vehicle in your opposing lane. The reason behind this is because high beams can be blinding in the opposing lane and can and have lead to very serious accidents.Answer If your high beams were left of as on-coming traffic was approaching it would be blinding to the other driver. If you have your high beams on while in back of another car, it could also be blinding to the driver your following through side and rear view mirrors. Either way it is dangerous. If your high beams were left on constantly through - lets say a city - where lighting is good, the police officer may have determined that it was suspicious, and was checking to see if you were on alcohol or drugs.
Before turning left the right-of-way should be given to oncoming cars?
Oncoming traffic always has right of way. When turning left, signal, stop, wait. Move only when it is safe.
Why do turn signal only work when high beams are on?
Take your car in to have it checked. Turn signals should work without high beams.
A driver waiting to make a left turn when the traffic light turns green should?
Turn only after there is no danger from oncoming vehicles
When turning on head lights in my 1993 ford explorer they do not work when you hold the high beam switch then the head lights work?
your bulbs are burnt out. when you switch on the high beams its only the high beams. but when you flash your brights it lights up both high and low beams.
