Safe vehicle handling and hazard awareness at night require drivers to adapt their techniques to varying light and road conditions. Match each night driving scenario with its correct driving response according to the Highway Code.
- Temporarily dazzled by oncoming high-beam headlights on an unlit roadSlow down or stop safely, directing your vision towards the left-hand road verge.
- Approaching a blind bend on an unlit rural single carriagewayLook ahead for the sweep of oncoming headlight beams across roadside trees or hedges.
- Travelling closely behind another moving vehicle on a dark roadKeep headlights dipped to prevent blinding reflections in the lead vehicle's mirrors.
- Driving on wet asphalt at night under continuous street lightingIncrease your following distance to handle reduced tyre grip and magnified surface glare.
Cevap
Match being dazzled by oncoming lights with slowing down and looking toward the left-hand verge; approaching a blind bend with watching for headlight sweeps across trees and hedges; driving behind another vehicle with keeping headlights dipped; and driving on wet roads under streetlights with increasing following distance.
Each scenario correctly matches the established UK Highway Code vehicle control principles: averting gaze toward the left kerb avoids dazzle from oncoming beams; scanning roadside vegetation detects approaching traffic at blind corners; dipping beams prevents dazzling vehicles ahead; and enlarging following distance accounts for the compounded risk of wet surfaces and reflective night glare.
