Question: If your headlights suddenly fail at night you should:
Answer options:
- Stop in the lane ✅ Turn on hazards/parking lights and pull off the road
- Use high beams
- Drive faster to a service station
Correct answer: Turn on hazards/parking lights and pull off the road
Explanation: If your headlights fail at night, immediately turning on your hazard warning lights or parking lights maintains visibility so you can safely steer off the roadway. Stopping directly in the lane is highly dangerous and risks a serious rear-end collision. Attempting to use high beams is ineffective if the entire electrical system has failed, and driving faster in the dark is extremely hazardous. According to the Alberta Driver's Guide, drivers experiencing mechanical failure must safely clear the driving lanes to prevent crashes. Understanding emergency procedures for equipment failures is a frequent topic on the Alberta Class 7 test.
