Anytime your lights will not adversly affect other drivers. On a two lane road your bright lights may cause a driver coming towards you to be blinded causing them to leave the road or run in to you. On a four lane when you are behind someone your lights shining in their mirror may also blind them. After you have been driving for awhile you will develop a better feel for it. Until then if in doubt use your low beems.
