Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
You are driving at night on a two-lane highway with your high beams on. A vehicle approaches from the opposite direction. When must you switch to your low beams?
A and an oncoming vehicle approach on a dark two-lane highway. The neutral card states that A currently has high beams on.
Correct answer: When it comes within 1,000 feet of you
Why
High beams can blind an oncoming driver long before the two vehicles meet. Montana law also requires low beams when you are within 500 feet behind another vehicle. Low beams light the road only about 100 feet ahead, so slow down at night to stay within the distance you can see.
