Which of the following is part of safe night driving practice?

• A. Use high beams when there is no oncoming traffic.
• B. Use low beams; adjust speed to visibility; watch for pedestrians and animals; keep windshield clean.
• C. Keep windshield dirty to avoid glare.
• D. Increase following distance to 0 seconds.

Answer: (B)

Night driving safety relies on maximizing visibility while minimizing glare for others. The best approach is to use low beams so you can see the road without blinding oncoming drivers, adjust your speed to what your visibility allows, stay alert for pedestrians and animals that can appear suddenly in the dark, and keep the windshield clean to prevent glare and ensure a clear view. High beams can blind other drivers and should not be the default, especially when there’s traffic nearby. A dirty windshield worsens glare and reduces how well you can see, and keeping an unsafe following distance (like zero seconds) is dangerous because you won’t have time to react to hazards.
