Zorluk: OrtaNight Driving

You are driving at night on a dark road using dipped headlights. How should you regulate your driving speed to maintain safety and vehicle control?

  1. A
    Flash your headlights intermittently while increasing speed to illuminate upcoming road bends
  2. Drive at a speed that ensures you can comfortably stop within the distance illuminated by your headlightsCevap
  3. C
    Maintain the maximum road speed limit by fixating solely on the vehicle directly ahead
  4. D
    Rely on the silhouettes of parked vehicles and roadside furniture rather than adjusting your speed for visibility

Cevap

Drive at a speed that ensures you can comfortably stop within the distance illuminated by your headlights.
When driving at night, you must never 'overdrive' your headlights. Because visibility is restricted to the beam's reach, your speed must be adjusted so that your total stopping distance is well within the clearly illuminated area ahead.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess visibility limitations under dipped headlights
Recognise that dipped beam headlights typically illuminate only 30 to 40 metres ahead of the vehicle.
Safe vehicle handling requires matching vehicle speed to the maximum distance the driver can clearly see.
2
Apply the fundamental night driving safety rule
Ensure overall stopping distance (thinking distance plus braking distance) remains strictly within the illuminated road space.
If your speed requires a longer stopping distance than your lights illuminate, you will be unable to stop in time if an unlit hazard appears.
