Question 1709 in the bank

Driving at night with the high beam can cause:

  1. It doesn’t disturb other drivers.
  2. Correct answer: The dazzling ( blinding )of other drivers.
  3. Damage to the vehicle’s lighting system, particularly to the headlights.
  4. There is no statutory restriction on the use of the high beam while driving.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The dazzling ( blinding )of other drivers.

High beams shine far and strongly, so they can dazzle drivers coming towards you or driving ahead of you and leave them unable to see the road. That is why you must switch to low beams when approaching oncoming traffic or following another vehicle. Using high beams does not damage the headlights, and the law restricts their use precisely because of this dazzling effect.
