A driver in New Taipei City was dissatisfied with a tow truck driver who honked his horn and braked suddenly, followed him along the road, and flashed his high beams provocatively. Finally, he got out of his car and forcefully opened the other party's door, asking the tow truck driver to get out and argue. His lawyer explained that if someone uses high beams maliciously and causes eye damage to others, he may also be sued for compensation.

Attorney Li Yusheng from Fidelity Law Firm said that if a driver improperly uses high beams, he or she may be fined up to $6,000. However, if the high beam is misused and causes irritation and injury to other people's eyes, or even causes a car accident due to inability to see the situation ahead, the driver who misuses the high beam may be held criminally liable for negligent injury and civilly liable for damages.
