§ 25-88. When dimming headlights required.

(1)

Whenever a vehicle is being operated upon a street or highway or a portion thereof which is sufficiently lighted to reveal any person or object upon such way at a distance of three hundred fifty (350) feet ahead, the operator of such vehicle shall use one of the lowermost distributions of light or shall dim the head lamps, if the vehicle has single-beam lamps. Whenever a vehicle approaches an oncoming vehicle within five hundred (500) feet, it shall be the duty of the operator of such vehicle to use one of the lowermost distributions of light so aimed that glaring rays are not projected into the eyes of the oncoming driver or to dim the headlights, if the vehicle has single-beam lamps. Whenever the operator of any motor vehicle approaches from the rear or follows within two hundred (200) feet of another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, such operator shall use the lowermost distributions of light or shall dim the head lamps, if the vehicle has single-beam lamps.

(2)

Whenever a vehicle is parked so that the beam from the headlights of such parked vehicle will glare into the eyes of the driver of a vehicle approaching upon a highway, it shall be the duty of the operator of the parked vehicle to dim or low beam such lights so that glaring rays are not projected into the eyes of such approaching driver.
