You are following another vehicle at night with your high beams on. Within what distance must you dim them?
- A 200 feet
- B 100 feet
- C 500 feet
- D 50 feet
Show answer
A. 200 feet
Use high beams on open highways, but dim them when following within 200 feet of another vehicle and when meeting oncoming traffic. Bright lights in a mirror can blind the driver ahead.

- B Only when it is foggy
- C Only from sunset to sunrise
- D Only on the interstate
Show answer
A. Whenever you are using your windshield wipers
Use headlights whenever your windshield wipers are on, and any time you have trouble seeing other vehicles. Headlights help other drivers see you in rain and snow.

- D One inch
Show answer
A. Two feet
Two feet of moving water can carry away most vehicles, and just six inches can reach the bottom of most cars. Never drive into a flooded road; turn around and find another route.

In fog, use low beams, slow down and use extreme caution. Driving on roads posted at 40 MPH or more is not recommended when visibility is under a quarter mile.
