Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
At 2 p.m., smoke from a brush fire blows across the highway. You can see other vehicles clearly only about 400 feet ahead. What does West Virginia law require?
Brush-fire smoke reduces visibility along the highway at 2 p.m. The card states only the given 400-foot view; A has no depicted headlight beam or switching instruction.
Correct answer: Turn on your headlights, because you cannot see clearly for 500 feet.
Why
Headlights help you see, and they also help other drivers see you. When you have trouble seeing other vehicles, their drivers have the same trouble seeing you. In smoke or fog, use the low beams, reduce speed and be ready for a sudden stop.
