At night, how should you adjust your riding compared to daytime?
- A.Slow down, increase your following distance, and use your headlight to see and be seen
- B.Ride faster to get home sooner
- C.Turn off your headlight in the city
- D.Follow other vehicles more closely to use their lights
Correct answer
A. Slow down, increase your following distance, and use your headlight to see and be seen
Why
At night your visibility and other drivers' ability to see you are reduced, so slow down, increase following distance, and keep your headlight on. Do not overrun your headlight — ride at a speed that lets you stop within the distance you can see.
