Question 1403
You are driving at night with your high beams on. You see pedestrians on the shoulder. Are you required to switch from high beams to low beams?
- Yes, but only on straight stretches.
- Yes, to avoid blinding them.
- It is not necessary.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, to avoid blinding them.
You must switch to low-beam headlights when your high beams could cause glare for pedestrians. This requirement also protects people walking on the shoulder.
