Is there a similar rule for switching from Off to Low-beam? Unless that would be considered 'dazzling' and 219 applies (whatever dazzling means :) ) This rules seems to be specifically the use of high-beam.

Regardless of the outcome, you'd almost certainly be issued an infringement for crossing those lines (if I remember rightly, you must be avoiding an obstacle to legally cross unbroken lines - I'd have to look it up).
