Question 287 of 1002

When you meet another car in the dark, you should...
Justification

When cars meet in the dark, both should switch to dipped headlights when the distance between them is about 200-300 metres. As full-beam headlights are directed straight ahead and with a smaller angle of light distribution than dipped headlights, you can switch back to full-beam headlights when the oncoming car is approximately 1-2 car lengths away.

If this occurs in a left-hand curve (from your perspective), you may keep your full-beam headlights on longer than the oncoming vehicle.
Options
go down to dipped headlights as early as possible
change back to the full-beam headlights approximately two car lengths before meeting
not switch to full-beam headlights until the car has passed
switch to dipped headlights when the distance between the cars is about 500 meters
