Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
At night, when must you dim headlights to avoid glare for an oncoming vehicle or a vehicle you approach from behind?
Correct answer: Within 500 feet oncoming and 300 feet when following.
Why
Use the appropriate low beam within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle and within 300 feet when approaching another vehicle from behind. Avoid glare into eyes or mirrors. Use low beams in fog and other conditions where high beams reflect back and reduce your view.
