When should an operator dim their headlights for oncoming traffic under the Transportation Code?

An operator should dim their headlights for oncoming traffic when they are within 500 feet under the Transportation Code. This regulation is in place to reduce glare for oncoming drivers, ensuring safety for everyone on the road. Bright headlights can significantly impair the vision of oncoming drivers, making it difficult for them to see and respond appropriately. By dimming the lights at this specified distance, drivers contribute to creating a safer driving environment, allowing time for both parties to navigate the road effectively.
