Zorluk: Çok zorLighting and Horn Usage

You are driving on an unlit rural road at night with your headlights on main beam. Upon spotting a horse rider ahead in your lane, you must immediately dip your headlights, refrain from sounding your horn, and briefly flash your dipped headlights to ensure the rider is aware of your presence before passing wide and slow.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

False
The statement is False because you must never flash your headlights near a horse. While dipping your main beams and avoiding the horn are the correct procedures, flashing your headlights—even dipped ones—can easily startle the horse, especially at night. You should simply slow down to a maximum of 10 mph, wait patiently, and pass wide and slow without using any warning signals.
