When should you use your high beams?

In fog
On crowded roads
To make yourself more visible
When no other vehicles are around

The correct answer is: When no other vehicles are around

High beams should only be used when there are no other vehicles around. Using high beams in fog, on crowded roads or in order to make yourself more visible can be dangerous for other drivers and may cause accidents. High beams can be blinding, especially when used in fog, and can limit visibility on crowded roads as they may reflect off the vehicles around you. Using high beams to make yourself more visible when there are other vehicles around can also be distracting and dangerous for other drivers. It is important to only use high beams when necessary, and to switch back to low beams when other vehicles are present.
