What does 'overdriving your headlights' mean at night?
- A.Using high beams in the city
- B.Driving with the interior lights on
- C.Having headlights brighter than legal
- D.Driving so fast that you cannot stop within the distance your headlights let you see
Correct answer
D. Driving so fast that you cannot stop within the distance your headlights let you see
Why
Your safe speed at night is limited by sight distance, not by the posted limit. If a hazard appears at the edge of your light beam and you cannot stop in time, you are overdriving your headlights.
