Why should a driver reduce speed when headlights illuminate only a short distance ahead?
A blue car travels right at night. Its headlights illuminate a limited section of the lane ahead. The question has no stopping-distance bars, safe-speed value or response instruction.
Correct answer: The vehicle must be able to stop within the distance the driver can see to be clear.
Why
At night, speed should leave enough visible road for perception, reaction, and braking before an unseen hazard.
