When night time driving conditions exist, drivers do not need to adjust their driving.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

Night driving reduces visibility and increases hazards, so you must adjust your driving accordingly. Because it’s harder to see pedestrians, cyclists, animals, and road hazards, you should slow down, increase your following distance, and use your lights properly. Use headlights to improve visibility, switch to low beams when other vehicles are nearby to avoid blinding them, and scan the road carefully by looking to the sides and ahead rather than staring straight ahead. Avoid glare by not looking directly at oncoming headlights and keep your eyes moving to spot potential dangers. Fatigue is also a bigger risk at night, so take breaks if you’re tired. Since adjustments are essential for safety, the statement that you do not need to adjust at night is not true.
