At night, how should your speed relate to your headlights?

• A.You may outdrive your headlights if the road is familiar
• B.Drive slowly enough to stop within the distance your headlights illuminate
• C.Speed does not matter if high beams are on
• D.Follow another car's lights at any speed

Why

If you cannot stop within what you can see, you are overdriving your headlights. At night that means slowing down, especially on unlit roads.
