You should use low beams whenever you are within how many feet of an oncoming vehicle at night?

• A. 100 ft
• B. 500 ft
• C. 1000 ft
• D. 200 ft

Answer: (B)

When driving at night, high beams can blind the driver coming toward you, making it harder for them to see. To prevent this, switch to low beams whenever you are within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle. This distance gives enough illumination for you to see the road while reducing glare for the other driver. If the oncoming vehicle is farther than 500 feet or has passed, you can use high beams again, provided no other traffic is within the range. The other options don’t fit because 500 feet is the safe, standard rule for limiting glare for oncoming traffic.
