Vehicle lights Flashcards
Why is it important to use vehicle lights before dusk?
It is better to see and be seen; turning on your lights early enhances visibility for yourself and other road users.
What should you check to ensure your vehicle lights are functioning properly?
Ensure that the lights are clean, not broken, working properly, and adjusted correctly.
When should you switch your headlights to low beam when meeting oncoming vehicles?
Switch to low beam to avoid dazzling when your lights meet the oncoming vehicle lights.
What should you do when overtaking another vehicle regarding headlights?
The leading vehicle should use full beam, while the vehicle behind should keep lights on low beam to avoid dazzling the driver of the vehicle being overtaken.
What is the rule for using headlights in built-up areas at night?
Always use dipped headlights; driving on full beam is prohibited in areas with adequate street lighting
What precautions should you take when driving in fog?
Keep a safe distance, use front and rear fog lights, use dipped headlights, and do not use hazard lights.
How does high wind affect vehicle stability ?
High winds can make vehicles unstable, lift some vehicles off the road, and blow cyclists or motorcyclists off course.
What should you do if your vehicle breaks down in fog?
Get off the road and do not stop or park on the hard shoulder; use your fog lights if visibility is seriously reduced.
Why should you avoid driving too close to large vehicles in high winds?
High winds can cause large vehicles to become unstable, and a strong gust could potentially topple them onto your vehicle.
