Weather Visibility EmergenciesStandalone practice
At night, your stopping distance would extend beyond the road you can see in your headlights. What should you do?
A blue car travels on an unlit two-way road with a limited area ahead illuminated by its headlights.
Correct answer: Reduce speed so you can stop within the distance you can see
Why
Slow down before you run out of visible stopping space. Total stopping distance includes the distance travelled while you notice and react, as well as braking. The comparison drawing illustrates overdriving the headlights; it does not prescribe a speed or a fixed headlight range.
