You drive at night on a dark rural highway. Your headlights light only a limited distance ahead. How should you choose your speed?
A drives alone on a dark rural highway. A pale headlight beam ends a limited distance ahead, and no lead vehicle appears.
Correct answer: Keep a speed that lets you stop within the distance that your headlights light up.
Why
Night driving is harder because your view to the front is limited to the area that your headlights light. Search the road beyond your beams for dark shapes, and glance to the sides to find the edge of the pavement. If your stopping distance at your speed is longer than the lit distance ahead, slow down.
