8.65.030 Use of multiple-beam headlights.
Whenever a motor vehicle is being operated on a highway during the hours of “darkness,” that is, any time from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise, and any other time when visibility is not sufficient to render clearly discernible any person or vehicle on the highway at a distance of 1,000 feet, the driver shall use a beam sufficient to reveal persons and vehicles at a safe distance in advance of the vehicle, subject to these requirements:
(1) Whenever a driver of a motor vehicle approaches an oncoming vehicle within 500 feet, such driver shall use low beams.
(2) Whenever a driver of a motor vehicle approaches another vehicle from the rear within 300 feet, such driver shall use low beams.
Commentary: This provision is generally based on California Vehicle Code Section 24409. If there is any conflict between this provision and the California Vehicle Code, this code shall supersede the California Vehicle Code.
