Question 6090

If an irreparable lighting failure leaves you driving with only the low beams, what must you do?

  1. Stop the vehicle and ask for help.
  2. Stop the vehicle and call a tow truck.
  3. Reduce speed to a level that allows the vehicle to be stopped within the illuminated area.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Reduce speed to a level that allows the vehicle to be stopped within the illuminated area.

If a lighting malfunction can't be repaired on the road, you can continue with low beams and must slow down until you can stop within the area they illuminate. You don't need to stop, call a tow truck, or ask for help.
