| Cars race to turn on their high beams, regardless of whether oncoming drivers are affected by the light from their headlights shining directly into their faces. Besides some people who do not know how to control high beams/low beams, there are many people who know that high beams are only for lighting when traveling long distances or in low-light areas, but they still calmly turn on their high beams in the inner city.

| In the inner city, most roads are equipped with lighting, so turning on headlights is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Too strong light reduces the visibility of oncoming drivers, making them unable to see obstacles in the light beam. There is no specific research on the harmful effects of headlights shining into the eyes, but vision will certainly be affected if continuously exposed to strong light sources. Photo: Lam Tung |
