You drive at night on a dark, unlit country road with your headlights on. How should you choose your speed?
A drives on a dark, unlit country road with its headlights illuminating a limited stretch ahead. The road beyond the light remains dark, and no stopping-distance value is given.
Correct answer: Drive slow enough to stop within the distance your headlights light up ahead
Why
Headlights light the road for only about 350 feet ahead. A car at highway speed needs a long distance to stop, so a hazard that appears at the edge of the light can be hard to avoid. Slow down more on narrow, curving or unfamiliar roads, where night driving is most dangerous.
