Both of your headlights suddenly go out while you are driving on a dark road at night. What should you do?
Blue A travels on a dark two-lane road after its headlights suddenly fail. No shoulder stop is already shown.
Correct answer: Slow down and use your flashers or parking lights to guide you off the road.
Why
Without headlights you cannot see hazards, and other drivers may not see you. Nevada law requires lighted headlamps at night, so do not drive on until the lights are repaired. Once you are off the road, keep the flashers on to warn other drivers and have the car towed or fixed.
