Safety and your vehicle
Why must your headlights be correctly adjusted?
- So they light the road without dazzling other road usersCorrect
- So they point straight up to light road signs
- So they use as much battery as possible
- So they are brighter than every other car's lights
Why?
Lights aimed too high can blind oncoming drivers and cause a crash. Annex 6 of The Highway Code says lights must be properly adjusted so they do not dazzle other road users, while still lighting the road ahead for you.
