A vehicle traveling 60 mph travels 88 feet in one second. In order to be able to see, evaluate and make decisions about situations at night, one should be able to see clearly at least six seconds ahead. That works out to about 175 yards minimum -- the more the better. That's with LOW beams. High beams should extend your vision out to at least a quarter of a mile.

Should you use your low beams or high beams when driving in fog?
You should use low beams when driving in fog. It is more difficult to see driving with high beams in fog.
Should you use your high beam headlights to be seen even in foggy conditions?
You should not use your high beams in the fog. Your high beams will reflect off of the water in the air from the fog making it even harder to see.
When are high beams best used for?
High beams on vehicles are for when the road is really dark and the low beams aren't bright enough to see.
If a car with bright light comes toward you at night you should?
First flash from low to high beams and back. This is a polite reminder to the other driver that he has his high beams on and that he is blinding you. If that doesn't work, and he leaves his high beams on, check traffic out in front of you, in your lane, as far as you can see. If you lane is clear look down and to the right side of the lane you are in until he passes you. This allows you to stay in your lane and not weave.
You may use your high beams only if there is no oncoming traffic for?

You should use the high-beam headlights to see and to be seen. Even in foggy conditions use the high beams.?
Not true. Hi beam lights shine higher above the ground. They will reflect back at you from fog and make it harder to see. Low beams shine lower and are not reflected back at you.

Low beam. High beams actually light up the fog and make it even more difficult to see.
