Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
At night you follow another vehicle and are not overtaking or passing it. Within what distance must you use the lower headlight beam?
Correct answer: 200 feet.
Why
Use low beams when you follow another vehicle within 200 feet, except while overtaking or passing that vehicle. The oncoming-vehicle rule is a separate 500-foot threshold. Do not confuse the two distances.
