Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
You are driving at night on a dark, unlit highway. What speed keeps you from overdriving your headlights?
Blue A travels on a dark, unlit highway. Its headlight beam illuminates only part of the road ahead.
Correct answer: A speed at which you can stop within the distance your headlights light up.
Why
In the dark you see less of the road, and you see hazards later. If your stopping distance is longer than the distance your headlights show, a person or object can appear too late to avoid. Nevada law also requires a speed that is reasonable for the conditions and a lower speed when hazards exist, even below the posted limit.
