Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
You drive on a dark country road with your high beams on. The headlights of an oncoming car appear over a hill. What must you do?
A and oncoming B approach each other on a dark country road. A has a broad high-beam light pool; the card says B’s headlights appear over a hill, and a separate side profile identifies the road crest.
Correct answer: Switch to low beams so your lights do not shine into the other driver's eyes.
Why
High beams let you see farther on dark roads, so use them when no vehicle comes toward you. Dim them as soon as an oncoming vehicle appears, and switch back after it passes. With low beams on, slow down if you cannot see far enough ahead to stop.
