Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
At night on a rural highway, you are catching up to a car ahead in your lane. Within what distance behind that car must you switch to low beams?
A catches up to B on a dark two-lane highway. Enlarged vehicle details identify the following and leading cars.
Correct answer: Within 300 feet of it
Why
High beams reflected in mirrors can blind the driver ahead just as they blind oncoming drivers. Missouri law uses two distances: dim within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle and within 300 feet of a vehicle you are following. Use high beams again only when no vehicle is within those distances.
