Between two vehicles that cross paths on a sharp bend...
Lighting
Explanation
To drive safely on a sharp curve at night, it is important to know which vehicle should switch from high beams to low beams.
- **The vehicle taking the curve on the right** is the one traveling on the inner part of the curve. This vehicle should be the first to switch from high beams to low beams.
- The reason is that its lights directly illuminate the road and can **dazzle** the driver of the oncoming vehicle.
- On the other hand, the vehicle taking the curve on the left travels on the outer part of the curve. Its lights illuminate off the road and do not dazzle the other driver, so it can keep the high beams on.
In summary, to avoid dazzling other drivers and ensure safety, the vehicle taking the curve on the right should be the first to switch to low beam headlights.
