According to the law, while driving at night and in good weather conditions – what is the minimal distance that should be covered by the vehicle’s headlights?
- The range of the headlights is not defined by law, and it is determined at the discretion of the vehicle’s manufacturer.
- Correct answer: 100 meters for the high beam, and 30 meters for the low(dipped) beam.
- 120 meters for the high beam, and 50 meters for the low beam.
- 150 meters for the high beam, and 60 meters for the low beam.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: 100 meters for the high beam, and 30 meters for the low(dipped) beam.
The law sets a minimum range for headlights at night in good weather: the high beam must light the road at least 100 meters ahead, and the low (dipped) beam at least 30 meters. This range is not left to the manufacturer's discretion, so headlights must be kept working, clean and properly aimed. The low beam is shorter so it does not dazzle oncoming drivers.
