When driving behind another vehicle at night, keeping your headlights on the low beam setting is important for several reasons. Low beam headlights are designed to provide adequate visibility without blinding the driver of the vehicle in front of you. High beams, while illuminating further down the road, can cause glare for the vehicle ahead, making it difficult for the other driver to see properly. This can create an unsafe situation for both drivers.

Using low beams ensures that you have enough visibility to react to any potential hazards while also being considerate of the safety of the driver in front of you. Increased following distance is also a good practice when driving at night; however, the primary focus should be on using the appropriate headlight setting to maintain visibility and safety for all road users. Keeping your lights on low beam is a standard driving etiquette and is crucial in preventing accidents due to temporary blindness or lack of visibility.
