Question: When driving at night on an unlit road, why is it dangerous to drive faster than you can see?
Answer options:
- Your headlights drain the battery at higher speeds ✅ If a hazard appears within your headlight beam you may not have enough distance to stop — this is called 'overdriving your headlights'
- Night driving is always illegal above the speed limit
- It uses more fuel at night than during the day
Correct answer: If a hazard appears within your headlight beam you may not have enough distance to stop — this is called 'overdriving your headlights'
Explanation: Drivers must be able to stop within the distance their headlights illuminate. Travelling faster than that distance — overdriving your headlights — means a hazard inside the beam will appear too late to stop for. Reduce speed at night, especially on unlit rural roads.
