Match each driving scenario with the legally correct use of vehicle lights or the horn according to The Highway Code.
- Driving on an unlit road at night following directly behind another vehicleUse dipped headlights to avoid dazzling the driver ahead
- Driving in dense fog where visibility is reduced to under 100 metres (328 feet)Switch on fog lights and turn them off when visibility improves
- Stopped and causing a temporary obstruction on a highway due to a vehicle breakdownTurn on hazard warning lights to alert approaching road users
- Driving along a street with street lighting in a built-up area between 23:30 and 07:00Do not sound the horn unless another road user poses immediate danger
Answer
Match following at night with dipped headlights; dense fog under 100 metres with switching on fog lights; stationary breakdown obstruction with hazard warning lights; and driving in a built-up area between 23:30 and 07:00 with the horn restriction.
Each driving scenario corresponds directly to a statutory Highway Code requirement: dipped headlights prevent dazzling when following other traffic (Rule 114/115), fog lights are permitted only when visibility is below 100 metres (Rule 226), hazard warning lights alert traffic to a stationary obstruction (Rule 116), and horn use in built-up areas is restricted between 23:30 and 07:00 (Rule 112).
