--.RitchiE.-- Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Is there a rule for the use of bright headlights? I was told to turn them off by another player. Just wondering. Only rule I see about headlights is to turn them on from 7pm-7am 1900-0700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I don't believe there's a rule regarding it. However even though it's not totally blinding it is a little annoying at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCreepyTruckr Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 ^ Definitely annoying at times, especially (in my opinion) players constantly flashing their highbeams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkk65df Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It's allowed to use the bright headlights, but it's annoying for other players. I only use it if there are no players. license plate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B3AST Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hello! This is a great question and thank you for asking. There is no rule about driving around with your brights on. Some players may find ti annoying, but you are allowed to have them on whenever you want. I hope this answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Depending on each player's settings, highbeams can be blinding and will be most likely annoying, specially on narrow roads, not so much on wide highways. Even more when the player with them on has like 12 extra lamps on rooftop bar and the bullbar... I only use them (regular ones, no extra bars) when there's no one in front of my truck.

Interstate Nomad Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 If necessary at all, I use high beams only according to real world traffic law. Basically, it forbids using them in built-up areas, and they should be turned off if upcoming traffic approaches or if closely following traffic. As on the simulation servers national traffic laws have to be considered, I think your question about a rule can therefore be answered with yes.

dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 They shouldn't blind you in game so there's no problem with them but obviously they blind you in real life and it's required to turn them off when approching oncoming traffic.

Callum. Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 There are no rules regarding when and when not to use certain lights. however common sense says that you use your main lights during night time and only use high beams of visibility is low and there are no trucks in front of you going in either direction. During the day you don't need lights on, certainly not high beams and they cause distraction and in real life they can blind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Louis Lorenzy Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 No but it may disturb others, you should be careful when you using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--.RitchiE.-- Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thanks everyone. I mainly use my brights on the games when no one is directly in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite [SVK] Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 When using only standard lights, it is not much of a problem (including DAF and 2016 Scania built in roof lights, I always uninstall additional lights under the windshield of 2016 Scania). But there absolutely should be rule about stupidly large number of additional lights, because some people slap one in every possible slot just to annoy others, when they drive like that with high beams even in broad daylight, or in areas with street lights, and they appear as bright blinding smudge of light when they come at you at night. Same goes for constantly enabled beacons and strobe lights, while not pulling anything slowly or oversized, or even just bobtailing around. I consider everyone behaving like that being just arrogant. There is setting in the tab menu about additional lights, but I don't see any difference between it being checked or unchecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowWolf2k7 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 personally I have the extra lights on my Scania r730. I use them as decerations and that's it. the only high beams I use are the trucks built in ones, including the 2 extra slots that you can add them in as part of the cab. if I see someone along the road I will turn off my high beams. then after passing them I turn them back on. it is called being polite.

[G-T-R]GrayWolf Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 No there is no rules about headlights and some people drive with highbeam all the time day or night it doesn't matter when I saw them just flash couple time some of them understand and close the highs some of them ignore and stil drive with all lights on.

Guest Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 This is something part of preventive driving in term close of the accidents to avoid, it's obliged all the time to use low beam even if it rains torrential, snowing, entering tunnels or other factors may include reducing visibility, on certain roads when is well illuminated such as when you approaching a city, village, borders, gas station etc., or when you begin to see street lamps then you shall use it otherwise is mandatory to use at night somewhere from between 8:00 - 8:45PM, speaking of high roof lamps it's also wisely to take in considerate not exaggerating adding too much as @FernandoCR [ESP] stated above. High beam should in concomitant to use on only full night as well what @Joao Rodrigues said so with exception never drive at a higher speed than the one that lets you stop at the distance you see clearly in front of the headlights and so when someone approaching 100m from opposite direction, turn immediately to low beam then turn back when you assured. In case of blindness, look to the right side of the road, not directly to the approaching headlights also make sure to turn off when seeing in visibility of tail, signal and brake lights on the go so that you would see player intention in front . The difference is when between night driving and daytime driving is visibility. It seems obvious, but when driving at night, the ability to see in front and the ability of other drivers to see you is low. effects caused by low visibility are: The difficulty of seeing information The edges of the road are hardly visible Extra effort for the eyes Simple, eh?

I'm thinking it may be useless in simulator because in certain scenarios not all players gets to the point of known which can be intended to show a variety of different messages like including to warn to other drivers of road hazards, telling a driver they can pass through or alerting a driver of speed or police traps, disable high beam and it can also be a form of aggressive driving. The using of headlight flashing varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The using of headlight flashing varies. I'm not talking about someone giving a quick flash of their highbeams for a legitimate reason, I'm referring to the players that spam them off constantly for no reason. Some twat coming up behind me on the highway and just spamming his highbeams isn't informational or helpful, it's useless spam(or road rage in real life).

Hybrid06 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 The bright lights are irl only used for when its really dark and when there is none near you. If there's someone near you and its dark its best to turn ur normal headlights on. When the sun is up just turn them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Goober Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'd love to see them disabled, tailgaters that follow you for an hour plus while turning your cab interior white irritate the heck out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtz49 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 No rule however it would be nice for on coming trucks to turn off high beams as it is a simulator and you're supposed to do it IRL Steam | TruckersMP Profile | Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinese good drivers Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Especially the driver on the opposite side of the trail will not turn off the high beam, which makes my cab very bright, which makes me very uncomfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloofter Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 In real life Bright headlights can be a danger especially on country roads at night, I don't personally drive with full-on beams 24/7, Only on really dark areas, I turn them off when another truck is approaching so I don't blind them.

SammyCat Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Personally, at night I use the high-beams to see where I am going, but when there's a truck oncoming on the other side of the road, I turn them off to low-beam until they're passed and then I chuck them back on because I also do this in RL when I'm driving around.

But sometimes, that can be really hard, especially when someone is shining right through your damn skull :/ XD And because of how the lightning in ETS2 works, its not really 'blinding'. It may be annoying, but its not that bad General18 TruckersMP My supported languages: English, Danish Support | TruckersMP Rules | Feedback | How To Downgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
