Question: In Alberta, snow-covered headlights and taillights should be:

Answer options:

• Left alone ✅ Cleared before driving for visibility and so others can see you
• Covered
• Replaced

Correct answer: Cleared before driving for visibility and so others can see you

Explanation: Clearing snow-covered headlights and taillights before driving is correct because it ensures maximum visibility for the driver and allows other motorists to see the vehicle clearly in poor winter conditions. Leaving lights covered or ignoring them is dangerous and illegal under Alberta's Traffic Safety Act, which requires all vehicle lamps to be kept visible and clean, while replacing them is entirely unnecessary. Alberta's Driver's Guide emphasizes that winter vehicle preparation is a key driver responsibility. Class 7 candidates will frequently encounter questions about winter driving safety and clean vehicle equipment on the official knowledge exam.
