Why should you drive more slowly at night compared to during the day?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. You cannot see as far ahead
Low beams typically illuminate only about 45 metres of road; high beams about 150 metres. Driving the same speed as daylight outruns your headlight range — you cannot stop within the distance you can see.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Street lights are dimmerStreet light brightness is not the key factor — sightline distance is.
- C.Gas mileage is worseGas mileage has no bearing on night-speed decisions.
- D.Other drivers drive fasterSpeed limits are the same day and night; you adjust downward because of reduced sightline.
