Hangzhou car high beam lights affect road lighting (Figure)

When the vehicle is in the evening, is it a long-distance light or a low-beam light? Industry insiders said that this is a quality issue. We have been advocating civilized driving, but how many people are doing this in reality?

"A lot of people drive at night, they all drive high beam lights, and they don't change into low beam lights when they meet. It is very glaring from the opposite side, affecting the line of sight, and can't see the road ahead." One night ago, the reporter took a taxi from the taxi. When the waterway went to Tianmu High School, the taxi driver said this.

According to the taxi driver's report, the reporter observed at the intersection of Lintian Road in Chengzhong Street that there were many cases where the vehicle was driving at night. In half an hour, about 30% of passing vehicles use high beam lights, and they are not replaced with low beam lights even when the vehicles meet or turn at intersections. The light from the high beam lights makes the pedestrians feel glare.

The driver who is most deeply touched by the high beam is the driver who often drives the night train. Mr. Ji said that the opposite high beam light came over and there was a white flower. Nothing could be seen clearly in front. Generally, it was necessary to brake and slow down. When the light was particularly strong, it was easy to stop and wait for it to pass. Mr. Wu said that there are quite a lot of people driving the high beam at night, and it is very dangerous to see the situation ahead. It was reported by the media in Hangzhou that the driver had opened a high beam and caused a car accident. The driver Xiao Li appears to be more excited: if my headlights are brighter than the other party, I must also drive the high beam light to see who the cow is.

In the communication with the driver, the reporter learned that there are three main situations in the city at night without the low beam: First, I don’t know how to play the low beam, most of them are novices; second, I come from the bad road and forget to turn the lights. . The third is to see other people playing high beam lights, they are right, because they can't see clearly.

Many drivers have modified the lights in order to gain an advantage in the comparison. The reporter learned from an auto parts store in Lindong Road that the modification of the lights is not an individual phenomenon. Moreover, the change of the lights is usually changed to a xenon lamp, the brightness is two or three times higher than the original, and the exaggerated light is blue. Occasionally you can see it on the street. From the opposite side, it is basically a light.

But in fact, there is no need to drive a high beam in the city. Because the high beam is used in dimly lit roads, the lighting conditions in the urban roads are better, the high beam angle is high, and the road lighting at close range has no effect. It can only cause the driver's sight of the other vehicle to be affected, making pedestrians feel Stinging.

Although China's "Road Traffic Safety Law" does not directly stipulate that urban roads must use low beam lights. However, it is stipulated in the detailed implementation rules that the nighttime car should be replaced with a low beam light 150 meters away from the opposite direction, and a low beam should be used when turning at the intersection. On the main roads of our city, during the busy traffic period, there is basically no relative direction to drive within 150 meters. Therefore, long-term driving of the high beam is also in violation of the Road Traffic Safety Law.
