Hazards, Surfaces & Night Riding

A Texas rider at night is 'overriding' the headlight when they are:

  • A.Riding so fast that you cannot stop within the distance your headlight lets you see
  • B.Using the high beam in daylight
  • C.Turning the headlight off to save the battery
  • D.Following a car so its lights guide you
Correct answer

A. Riding so fast that you cannot stop within the distance your headlight lets you see

Why

Overriding your headlight means your speed is too high to stop within your visible distance. Slow down at night so hazards entering your beam can still be avoided.
