A California rider is overdriving their headlight at night if they are:
- A.Using your high beam when following another vehicle
- B.Riding with the headlight switched off
- C.Turning your headlight to the brightest setting
- D.Riding so fast that you cannot stop within the distance your headlight illuminates
Correct answer
D. Riding so fast that you cannot stop within the distance your headlight illuminates
Why
If you overdrive your headlight, a hazard can appear too late for you to stop. Slow down at night so your stopping distance stays within what you can actually see.
