Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
It is 2 p.m. Blowing snow is so thick that you cannot see other vehicles until they are about 300 feet away. What does Montana law require of your headlights?
Correct answer: Turn them on; the law requires them whenever you cannot see 500 feet ahead.
Why
Headlights help other drivers see you as much as they help you see the road; if you have trouble seeing others, they have trouble seeing you. Use low beams in snow and fog, because high beams reflect back into your eyes. Slow down as well, so that you can stop within the distance you can see.
