A Guide to Rule 115

Visibility and Daytime Safety

Use Dipped Headlights in Built - Up Areas

Don't Ignore Dull Daytime Weather

Drivers should use dipped headlights ( or dim - dip if fitted ) at night when traveling through urban or bullt - up environments .

Using dipped headlights during dull daytime weather is necessary to ensure your vehicle can be clearly seen by other road users .

Safe Overtaking Etiquette

Maintain Dipped Beams While Overtaking

Keep headlights in the dipped position when pulling past another vehicle until you are level with it .

Switch to Main Beam With Caution

Once level with the other vehicle , you may change to main beam if necessary , provided it does not dazzle oncoming road users .

Managing Oncoming Dazzle

Definition of Being ' Dazzled '

Slow Down and Stop if Blinded

This refers to the temporary loss of clear vision caused by the bright glare of oncoming headlights .

If you are dazzled by oncoming headlights , you must slow down and , if necessary , come to a complete stop until your vision clears .
