During the night or in conditions of reduced visibility, the drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors and trams who approach an intersection not controlled by traffic lights or by a traffic police officer, are obliged to signal by using alternately the low beam with the high beam. But in the situation in which from the opposite direction another vehicle is moving at a distance less than 200 m, this type of signalling can no longer be performed, because in this way you dazzle with the headlight beam the driver of the vehicle that is approaching.
It is prohibited to use the high beam when from the opposite direction a vehicle approaches at a distance less than 200 meters. Thus, when encountering vehicles moving from the opposite direction or at the signalling of the driver of motor vehicles who has engaged in a dangerous overtaking the repeated changing of the high beam to the low beam is prohibited.

(2) During the night, when two vehicles that move from opposite directions approach, their drivers are obliged that from a distance of at least 200 m to use the low beam together with reducing the speed. When the driver of a motor vehicle, agricultural or forestry tractor approaches a motor vehicle that is moving in front, he is obliged to use the low beam from a distance of at least 100 m.
(3) During the night or in conditions of reduced visibility the drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors and trams who approach an intersection not controlled by traffic lights or by traffic police officers are obliged to signal by using alternately the low beam with the high beam if they do not thus infringe the provisions of paragraph (2).
