Sample night, weather & hazards questions
When does Georgia law require you to use your headlights?
- A Only from sunset to sunrise
- B Only when streetlights are off
- C Only on highways at night
- D From a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, and in rain
Show answer
D. From a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, and in rain
You must use headlights from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise, any time it is raining, and whenever visibility is limited. Headlights help others see you, not just help you see.
A car is approaching from the opposite direction at night. Within what distance must you dim your high beams?
- A 200 feet
- B 100 feet
- C 500 feet
- D 1,000 feet
Show answer
C. 500 feet
Dim your headlights when you are within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle so you do not blind the driver. When following, dim them within 200 feet.
You are following another car at night. Within what distance should you switch to low beams?
- A 200 feet
- B 500 feet
- C 50 feet
- D 1,000 feet
Show answer
A. 200 feet
Dim your headlights when following closely, within 200 feet, behind another vehicle. High beams reflect in the other driver's mirrors and can blind them.
You must drive in heavy fog. Which headlights should you use?
- A High beams, to see farther ahead
- B Low beams, because high beams create glare
- C Parking lights only
- D Hazard lights instead of headlights
Show answer
B. Low beams, because high beams create glare
In heavy fog, reduce speed and dim your headlights. Bright lights produce glare in fog, making it harder to see than with regular headlights. Do not drive with parking or hazard lights on.
