Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Your headlights suddenly fail on a dark road. What should you do?
Correct answer: Use your flashers and pull off the road as soon as it is safe.
Why
Turn on available parking lights, emergency flashers or a turn signal to make the vehicle visible. The handbook also suggests trying the headlight switch. Pull off the road safely as soon as possible and keep the emergency flashers on; do not continue blindly at ordinary speed.
