How should your riding change at night?
- A.Ride faster so you spend less time in the dark
- B.Follow other vehicles more closely to use their lights
- C.Stop scanning and focus only on your headlight beam
- D.Reduce speed, increase following distance, and use your high beam when it will not blind others
Correct answer
D. Reduce speed, increase following distance, and use your high beam when it will not blind others
Why
At night you cannot see as far, so slow down, add following distance, and use your high beam when appropriate. This keeps your stopping distance within what you can actually see.
