What is recommended for night driving with limited visibility?

• A. Use high beams at all times
• B. Turn on the air conditioning to reduce fog
• C. Wear sunglasses at night
• D. Use low beams when appropriate, reduce speed, stay alert, and ensure proper windshield and wiper function

Answer: (D)

When visibility is limited at night, the priority is to maximize your own clear sight while minimizing glare for others. Using low beams keeps the road lit without blinding oncoming drivers, which is safer for everyone. Slowing down gives you more time to react to hazards you might not see as early in poor visibility, and staying alert helps you notice changes in conditions or unexpected obstacles. Making sure the windshield is clean and the wipers work well ensures you have a clear view when rain, fog, or dew reduces visibility. The other options don’t address visibility effectively and can actually worsen the situation—high beams create glare for others, while using air conditioning or sunglasses at night won’t improve sight or reduce risk.
