Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
How should your nighttime speed relate to the roadway illuminated ahead?
Blue A travels along an unlit road at night. Its headlights illuminate a limited section of the lane ahead.
Correct answer: Be able to stop within the clearly visible road.
Why
Do not outdrive the headlights; maintain a visible stopping area for the speed and conditions. An unseen obstruction beyond the headlight beam leaves no useful warning. Slowing brings the distance needed to stop within the area you can inspect ahead.
