Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
When does poor visibility require headlights and rear lamps in Nova Scotia?
Blue car A travels on an ordinary two-way road in reduced visibility. The haze is illustrative and gives no measured sight distance.
Correct answer: When a person 300 metres ahead cannot be clearly seen.
Why
Turn on the headlights and rear lamps when a person cannot be clearly seen 300 metres ahead because of low light or atmospheric conditions such as fog, rain or snow. Daytime running lights or parking lights alone are not a substitute. Use low beams in fog or falling precipitation to reduce reflected glare.
