The biggest problems occur when it is pitch black or pitch dark. In the dark, it is extremely important to shine your lights according to the legal regulations, otherwise you may blind other road users. It could even lead to serious accidents.
The key is to ensure visibility and at the same time to consider that the light is not too harsh for the driver of the oncoming vehicle. It is against the law to use high beams when there is a vehicle coming toward you. They must not be used during the daytime either.
