If you are riding with high beam headlights on and are approaching a vehicle from behind, what distance should you maintain before dipping your headlights?

• A. 50 m
• B. 100 m
• C. 150 m
• D. 200 m

Answer: (C)

Glare management is the key idea. High beams shine farther, but they can blind the driver in front. When you’re following another vehicle at night, switch to low beams as soon as you’re close enough that your headlights could dazzle the driver ahead. This protects their vision and keeps your own night vision from being overwhelmed by too much light. If you’re unsure about the distance, err on the side of caution and dip sooner rather than later. This rule helps prevent glare for the other driver and keeps you both safer on the road.
