Personal responsibility

a substitute for the driver's personal judgment
of when to use the high beams. Therefore, man‐
ually switch off the high beams in situations
where this is required to avoid a safety risk.◀

such as the following, and driver intervention
may be necessary:
▷
In very unfavorable weather conditions,
such as fog or heavy precipitation.
▷
In detecting poorly-lit road users, such as
pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders and
wagons; when driving close to train or ship
traffic; and at animal crossings.
▷
In tight curves, on hilltops or in depressions,
in cross traffic or half-obscured oncoming
traffic on freeways.
▷
In poorly-lit towns and cities and in the pres‐
ence of highly reflective signs.
