(b) Lower Beam - When, within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle, he 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 and such distribution of light shall also be used when following another vehicle within fifty (50) feet.
