Sample night, weather & hazards questions
Besides any time visibility is reduced, during what hours does Michigan law require your headlights to be on?
- A From midnight until 5 a.m.
- B From one hour after sunset until one hour before sunrise
- C Only while street lights are off
- D From a half-hour after sunset until a half-hour before sunrise
Show answer
D. From a half-hour after sunset until a half-hour before sunrise
Headlights must be on from a half-hour after sunset to a half-hour before sunrise, and any time visibility is reduced, such as when you cannot clearly see people and vehicles 500 feet away. Use low beams in daytime fog, rain or snow.
Within what distance of an oncoming vehicle is it illegal to use or flash your high beams?
- A 500 feet
- B 200 feet
- C 300 feet
- D 1,000 feet
Show answer
A. 500 feet
It is illegal to use or even flash high beams within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle. Also dim your lights for pedestrians and cyclists, and when following other vehicles.
An oncoming driver does not dim the high beams. Where should you look?
- A Directly at the oncoming headlights
- B At the center line
- C Into your rearview mirror
- D At the right edge of the road ahead
Show answer
D. At the right edge of the road ahead
Do not look into oncoming headlights. Keep your eyes on the right edge of the road ahead so you can stay in your lane while the glare passes; a clean windshield also helps.
The fog becomes so thick that you cannot see at all. What should you do?
- A Turn on your high beams to see farther
- B Pull off the road, turn on your four-way flashers and wait
- C Stop in your lane and wait for the fog to clear
- D Speed up to get through the fog faster
Show answer
B. Pull off the road, turn on your four-way flashers and wait
In fog, drive slowly with low beams. If you cannot see at all, pull off the road, turn on your four-way flashers and wait for the fog to lift.
