Compared with daytime riding, at night you should generally:
- A.Follow other vehicles more closely for light
- B.Increase your following distance and reduce speed
- C.Use only the center lane position
- D.Rely on your daytime sunglasses for glare
Correct answer
B. Increase your following distance and reduce speed
Why
Darkness hides hazards and makes distances harder to judge, so extra following distance and lower speed give you more time to react. Wear reflective gear to help others see you as well.
