Whenever a motor vehicle is being operated on a roadway or shoulder
adjacent thereto during the times specified in Section 12-201, the
driver shall use a distribution of light, or composite beam, directed
high enough and of the sufficient intensity to reveal persons and
vehicles at a safe distance in advance of the vehicle, subject to the
following requirements and limitations:
1. Whenever a driver of a vehicle approaches an oncoming vehicle
within five hundred feet, such driver shall use a distribution of
light, or composite beam, so aimed that the glaring rays are not

contour and loading.

hundred (200) feet to the rear, except when engaged in the act of
overtaking and passing, such driver shall use a distribution of light
permissible under this chapter other than the uppermost distribution
of light specified in paragraph 1. of Section 12-221.
