Question 3978
Before the pass is completed, the vehicle being passed must...
- switch from high beams to low beams.
- keep driving as it is doing, with the high beams on.
- necessarily reduce its speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: switch from high beams to low beams.
When the vehicle passing you pulls alongside, switch from high beams to low beams before the pass is complete. If you keep your high beams on, you'll blind its driver through the mirrors as soon as it moves ahead. You aren't required to brake unless a hazard arises during the maneuver. In the image, the white passenger car is already alongside the dark one, so the dark one must switch to low beams now.
