When are headlights required to be on low beam?

At all times
During afternoon hours
When within 1,000 feet of an oncoming vehicle
Only at night

The correct answer is: When within 1,000 feet of an oncoming vehicle

Headlights are required to be on low beam when within 1,000 feet of an oncoming vehicle to prevent blinding the other driver. The use of high beams can create glare that significantly impairs the vision of oncoming traffic, making it difficult for them to see the road and react safely. Low beams provide adequate illumination of the roadway while minimizing the risk of causing discomfort or danger to other motorists. The stipulation about the distance—1,000 feet—serves as a practical measure for ensuring that visibility remains safe for all road users when approaching one another. This regulation indicates a commitment to road safety and consideration for the driving experience of others on the road.
