Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Rain requires continuous windshield-wiper use. What lighting must the driver use?
Rain falls over the road. Blue A follows silver B in the same lane. The stated rain requires continuous windshield-wiper use; the image does not show a selected lighting mode.
Correct answer: Turn on the low-beam headlights.
Why
When weather requires continuous windshield-wiper use, California requires headlights. Use low beams in rain, snow, fog or mist; high beams can create reflected glare.
