Passing target: 80% (52/65)
At night on a dark rural highway, you drive with your high beams on. You catch up with another car and are now about 400 feet behind it. What does Wisconsin law require?
In a dark-road beam detail, A’s high beams reach toward the rear of B. A separate scaled overview labels the given 400-foot gap; no low-beam selection or legal threshold is shown.
Correct answer: Switch to low beams, because you are within 500 feet of the car ahead.
Why
High beams let you see about twice as far as low beams, so use them on dark roads when no other vehicle is near. Their glare in a driver's eyes or mirrors can blind that driver for a moment. If an oncoming driver does not dim, look toward the right edge of the road until the car passes.
