When should you use your high beam lights?

When driving in fog
When passing another vehicle
When driving in a construction zone
When driving in a residential area

The correct answer is: When passing another vehicle

High beam lights should be used when passing another vehicle because they provide a stronger and wider beam of light, allowing for better visibility of the road ahead. However, high beams should not be used in other situations such as in fog, as the light can reflect back and impair visibility, in a construction zone where it may blind workers or other drivers, or in a residential area where they can be a nuisance to other drivers and pedestrians.
