What can happen if you use high beams improperly?

Using high beams improperly can lead to receiving a ticket because high beams are designed to illuminate the road significantly farther than low beams. However, using them when they are not appropriate can cause significant issues for other drivers. For example, when high beams are used when approaching other vehicles or in well-lit areas, they can literally blind oncoming drivers, creating hazardous conditions. Law enforcement may issue tickets to drivers who fail to adhere to regulations regarding the appropriate use of high beams, as it's not just a matter of courtesy but also one of safety on the road.

Options that involve your car stalling or losing control are less likely to be a direct consequence of using high beams incorrectly. Additionally, using high beams inappropriately does not improve visibility for other drivers, and in many cases, it's counterproductive as it can lead to safety hazards instead of enhancements in clarity on the road.
