Use within the city
You should always use low-beam in the city. Car distance between cities has street lights within nearby cities. People cross the road in the city. The distance of vehicles from the opposite direction is also very less. Along with that, rickshaws, pedestrians and motorcycles are in abundance. So you should always use low beam or low beam in the city
Highway Use
When driving on the highway, since the distance between vehicles is very high, high-beams should always be used to indicate your position and see the road clearly. But take note here if any bike or car comes in front of your car within 150 meters then you have to reduce the high beam to low beam.
give signal
You can flash the high-beams repeatedly to signal your position to oncoming traffic or to signal a vehicle you are trying to overtake when the horn is not working. Cannot be kept on continuously for signaling. Two to three times you will reach the signal by upper/deeper. If that doesn’t work, wait a few seconds and then try again two or three times to reach the signal.
Time to turn
It is convenient to use this upper dipper when turning on roads that usually do not have dividers. On roads that only have road markings but no road dividers, you will repeatedly use the upper dipper to clear your position to oncoming traffic while taking a turn.
dense fog
Dense fog during winter reduces road visibility. As a result you can keep the bike dipper to signal your position and increase your limit. When the road is clear, lower the dipper again and bring it to low-beam.
In cities, ‘low-beam’ or ‘deeper’ or ‘softer’ beams are generally used. At night when there are no cars nearby i.e. ‘high or upper or sharp beam’ is used on highways and out-of-town roads to see further. However, if the vehicle coming from the opposite direction moves within 150 meters, the high beam should be switched off and the low beam switched on. That is, a vehicle coming from the opposite direction should turn on the low beam while passing.
