Multiple Choice

Which of the following actions improves night driving visibility?

Night driving visibility improves when you prioritize being seen and seeing clearly in low light. Turn on your headlights so you can illuminate the road and make yourself visible to other drivers. Increase your following distance to give yourself more time to react to hazards you might not notice as quickly at night. Slow down to compensate for the reduced depth perception and slower reaction times that come with limited light. Be mindful of glare from oncoming headlights and any signs of impaired vision from fatigue, medications, or aging, and adjust your speed and scanning pattern accordingly, using the right edge of the road as a reference if needed. The other options don’t support safe visibility: relying on high beams alone can blind other drivers and isn’t suitable in traffic; leaving interior lights on reduces contrast and makes it harder to see outside; fog lights are intended for foggy or poor weather and can hinder visibility in clear conditions.
