I just received one in Virginia. Apparently the ticket will be $25 but the surcharge will be $61 so it comes out to frickin $96. I'm pissed, as you can probably tell. Driving with high beams on $96? That's ridiculous.
Yes, a high beam ticket is typically considered a moving violation. This is because it involves the operation of a vehicle and can affect road safety by potentially blinding other drivers. Penalties may include fines, points on your driving record, and increased insurance rates, depending on the jurisdiction. Always check local laws for specific regulations regarding high beam use and violations.

Use low-beam headlights. When visibility is restricted, a driver's natural tendency is to activate the high-beam headlights. When driving in fog, this further impairs visibility because the high-beam illumination reflects off of the fog and back at your vehicle.
