ST. LOUIS – Following the right rules when using your high beams is very important in Missouri, especially when traveling in bad weather. Following the law makes sure that drivers are polite on the road in all kinds of conditions.

Drivers are encouraged to use their headlights in a way that doesn’t shine straight into the eyes of the other driver when you’re driving and another car is coming up behind you, or you’re following them by 300 feet.

“Whenever the driver of a vehicle approaches an oncoming vehicle within 500 feet or is within 300 feet to the rear of another vehicle traveling in the same direction, the driver shall use a distribution of light or composite beam so aimed that the glaring rays are not projected into the eyes of the other driver,” the law states.
