When driving in fog use high beams?
You should never use high beams when you are driving in fog because they shine up and ahead which will be reflected straight back into your eyes by the fog. Low beams (which aim downwards) and front fog lights (which are lower) are far better suited.
It is ok to shine your high beams into a car that is coming at you with his high beams on?
Actually, in most states it's against the law to do that. That's if you get caught doing it though.
How far do high beams illuminate?
500
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.
How far do you have to be from another car to use high-beams?
Quarter mile
When traveling at night with the high beams on how far behind a vehicle must you be before you have to switch back to the low beams?
300 Feet.
How far should you turn off your high beams from an approaching car?
1,000 feet.
Use the tyndall effect to explain why it is more difficult to drive through fog using high beams than using low beams?
Fog is a colloid which disperses light that shines through it. Because high beams shine straight ahead and further down the road more of the light is able to be scattered and reflected back towards the driver.
Why will my high beams work but my low beams do not on my 1994 Chevy half ton?
Your high beams work but your low beams do not because the switch is broken that switches between high and low beams. Electrical switches wear out.
