Hazards, Surfaces & Night Riding

What does it mean to 'override your headlight' at night?

  • A.Riding so fast that you cannot stop within the distance your headlight illuminates
  • B.Using high beams in the city
  • C.Riding with the headlight switched off
  • D.Following another rider's headlight instead of your own
Correct answer

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

Why

At night your stopping distance must fit inside the area you can actually see. If you ride faster than your headlight and vision allow, a hazard will appear too late for you to stop.
