Night Driving

Headlights are required from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise, and in rain, snow and fog. Drive at a speed that lets you stop within the 400 feet your headlights light up. Dim your high beams within 500 feet of oncoming traffic and 300 feet when following. If high beams blind you, look at the right edge of the road. No sunglasses at night, and leave more following distance.

In fog use low beams; high beams reflect back.

Example: on an unlit country highway with your high beams on, oncoming headlights appear. Switch to low beams when they are about 500 feet away, not after they flash you.
