Question 7473
On an unlit road outside a built-up area, when approaching a change in road grade, what must a driver do to know whether other vehicles are approaching in the opposite direction?
- Momentarily switch from high beams to low beams.
- Drive with the lights off for four or five seconds.
- Momentarily switch from low beams to position lights.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Momentarily switch from high beams to low beams.
As you approach a change in road grade, briefly switch from high beams to low beams. With less light from your own headlights, you'll notice the glow of oncoming headlights sooner. Turning your lights off is prohibited, and position lights alone don't let you see the road.
