NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law, section 375.3 -- Improper use of high beams.

When where or how do you determine it’s improper. And if so where are you aloud you use them.

Basically, If you're not making oncoming traffic blind, you're OK.
Here are the specifics. It aint pretty:

Quote

Headlamps required pursuant to the provisions of subdivision two of this section may be of the multiple beam type designed to produce more than one distribution of light or of the single beam type designed to produce only one distribution of light. Provided that, whenever a vehicle approaching from ahead is within five hundred feet, or when approaching a moving vehicle from the rear and within two hundred feet of the same, the headlamps, if of the multiple beam type, or the auxiliary front facing lamps, if the vehicle is so equipped, shall be operated so that dazzling light does not interfere with the driver of the approaching vehicle, or the vehicle being approached, and, whenever the highway is so lighted or traffic thereon is such that illumination of the highway for more than two hundred feet ahead of the vehicle by lights on such vehicle is unnecessary or impracticable, the headlamps, if of the multiple beam type, or the auxiliary front facing lamps, if the vehicle is so equipped, shall be operated with the lowermost distribution of light in use. Nothing contained in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent the use of flashing high beams to signify an intention to pass a vehicle or vehicles when two or more vehicles are traveling in the same direction, the operation of any headlamp as defined in paragraph d of subdivision two of this section, nor shall it apply to any auxiliary front facing lamp permitted to be displayed only on an authorized emergency vehicle.

I'm pretty sure utah has the worst drivers. In the army my dad saw drivers from germany, vietnam and now 49 states and still says we have the worst right here in kaysville. And i can vouch for that one too. I was in a right turn only lane turning right onto a road with a total of 5 lanes. 2 north, 2 south and 1 left turn. I was facing east turning south. Now some jackass facing west in his left turning lane with a semi truck following him decides to make an illegal lane change in an intersection and cut right in front of me, and THEN stop dead in traffic because he wants to go to the burger joint on that corner. Now i don't have enough time to stop because he slammed on his brakes to get the burger, and that semi from behind him is bearing down on us. So my only options are to either willingly rearend this moron, (and thus destroy my cougar) or take my chances with cutting off a semi truck. So just like any of you would do to save a beautiful car, i cut off the truck and got through without even a scratch. The semi didn't even slow down. All that because one idiot decided he really wanted a burger.

I don't care what a test says, the southeast has the worst dumbest and most careless drivers. Actually most southeast states had worse scores on there anyway! Ha! They don't even have to deal with snow down here either!

I got 95% which I think is good. I got the smoke, dust, headlight question wrong. I said parking lights because headlights will reflect back at the driver when driving through thick smoke or snow. But I understand they are going for the "headlights make your car more visible angle", which is true.

I got a 100 and I am from the North East. I lived in the south for 20 years and would have to argue they are worse drivers, now that I think of it though, most of the people where we were in Fl were from the north so it probably is right

100% I guess 25 years of experience counts for something.

The worst drivers by far are NYC Taxi drivers and certain TLC drivers aren’t to far behind
The movie elf summed it up when Will Farrell said "the yellow ones don’t stop”.
They are all off the boat immigrants who just got the drivers license and for what ever reason NYS DMV lets them drive a Taxi. Next time you in NYC and you see an accident I bet you its ether a yellow taxi or Lincoln town car/TLC.

Here's a good one. I've been driving for about 2 years now, but I'm still flumoxed over this. When you're making a right turn, and the light is green, and there are people on the other side of the intersection making left turns, who has the right of way? You or them?

You have the right of way on right turns. Any traffic that is crossing the traffic patern must yeild.

I got a 95 but i don't agree with it. The first question is.

1. Where should you park when you need help after your tire suddenly deflates while driving on a highway? (Select one)

a. In the right hand lane

b. Off the pavement

c. Where your car will be visible for 200 feet from the front

How are you going to jack up a car thats in the grass?
