When driving in the dark with high beam, you need to turn it off when approaching oncoming traffic. You are not allowed to drive with high beam on roads that have sufficient lighting throughout. The head lamps of waiting vehicles should not blind others. That's why you have to dip your lights at railroad crossings. If pedestrians precede in the same direction, they are not dazzled by the high beam.
