Driving a vehicle at night, what lighting should be used for overtaking?

When driving a vehicle at night, the following lighting methods should be used for overtaking:

1.提前开启左转向灯。

2.变换单次远、近光灯。

Because of poor night vision, it is necessary to change between using far and near lights to remind other vehicles. At the same time, you should observe the left rearview mirror for 3-5 seconds to confirm safety before changing lanes for overtaking. After completing the overtaking, close the left turning signal light and turn on the right turning signal light. Observe the right rearview mirror for 3 seconds to return to the original lane and continue driving.

Tips for night driving:

1. Increase the distance between vehicles: In night driving, the driver's line of sight is not as good as that in day driving, and there are often dangerous and urgent situations. Therefore, drivers must be prepared to stop at any time to avoid danger. In this case, it is necessary to keep a safe distance between vehicles to prevent a collision.

2. Avoid overtaking as much as possible: Before overtaking, observe whether there are obstacles on the right side of the vehicle to be overtaken, so as to avoid a collision when the vehicle to be overtaken is avoiding obstacles. If it is necessary to overtake, you should change between far and near lights to inform the vehicle ahead, and only start overtaking after you have determined that it is safe.

3. Overcome driving fatigue: Night driving, especially after midnight, is most likely to cause driver fatigue and drowsiness. In addition, because night driving does not provide enough stimulation to the driver due to the lack of landscape on the road, it is most likely to cause driving fatigue.
