What should a driver do when one of the vehicle’s two headlights is malfunctioning during the night?
- Correct answer: He shouldn’t continue driving, and he cannot continue driving before the malfunction is fixed.
- He shouldn’t continue driving only if the low beam is malfunctioning.
- He shouldn’t continue driving only if the high beam is malfunctioning.
- He can continue driving until the nearest garage.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: He shouldn’t continue driving, and he cannot continue driving before the malfunction is fixed.
At night a vehicle must be driven only with both headlights working. With one headlight out, the road is lit poorly, and other drivers may mistake the vehicle for a motorcycle or misjudge its width and position. So the driver must stop and have it fixed before driving on, not even slowly to a garage. This applies whether the low beam or the high beam failed.
