§47-12-222.
   
   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
   projected into the eyes of the oncoming driver. The lowermost
   distribution of light, or composite beam, specified in Section 12-221,
   2., shall be deemed to avoid glare at all times, regardless of road
   contour and loading.
   
   2. Whenever the driver of a vehicle follows another vehicle within two
   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.
