How can you manage to keep your braking distance within the range of your vehicle’s lights while driving at night?
- By using an additional spot light to detect road hazards.
- By using the rear fog light to reinforce your head lights beam.
- By turning on the long-distance high beam and driving at a high speed accordingly.
- Correct answer: By adjusting your driving speed to your field of vision at all times.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: By adjusting your driving speed to your field of vision at all times.
At night you can see only as far as the end of the headlight beam. The stopping distance, which is the reaction distance and the braking distance together, must be shorter than the distance you can see. So adjust your speed to your field of vision at all times. High beams or an additional spot light do not justify fast driving, and the rear fog light does not light the road ahead.
