You are driving at night on an unlit road. How should that affect your speed?

• A.Drive the full posted limit regardless of visibility
• B.Use high speed to spend less time in the dark
• C.Drive only as fast as you can stop within the distance your headlights illuminate
• D.Rely on the taillights ahead to judge stopping distance

Why

At night your sight distance is limited to your headlight range. Overdriving your headlights means a hazard can appear closer than the distance you need to stop.
