Is it advisable to use low-beam lights when driving on rural roads?

Using low-beam lights when driving on rural roads is not advisable because high-beam lights provide better visibility in areas with little to no street lighting. Rural roads often lack adequate lighting, making it essential to maximize visibility for both the driver and other road users. High-beam lights illuminate a greater distance, allowing drivers to see obstacles and other vehicles more clearly.

While low-beam lights are appropriate in certain conditions, such as when there are oncoming vehicles or during fog, they do not offer the enhanced visibility needed on unlit roadways. Therefore, using high-beam lights is typically the recommended practice for driving on rural roads unless specific conditions call for a change.
