  • B.Turn the headlight off to save the battery
  • C.Use only parking lights in rural areas
  • D.Aim the headlight at the ground directly in front of you
Correct answer

A. Use your high beam to see farther ahead

Why

Using your high beam when you are not following or approaching other vehicles extends your view of the road ahead. Dim it as car rules require when other traffic is present so you do not blind others.
