Sample questions
Three questions from the Night Driving, Restraints, and Emergencies bank with the correct answer and an explanation. The practice quiz above draws 30 questions at random from the same bank.
At night, why should you not drive faster than you can stop within the distance lit by your headlights?
- Because you can only see as far as your headlights reach, so you must be able to stop within that distance — Correct answer
- Because high beams are illegal at night
- Because your brakes work better during the day
- Because speed limits are higher at night
Explanation: At night you can only see as far as your headlights reach. Reduce your speed and do not 'over-drive' your headlights — never drive so fast that you cannot stop within the distance you can see.

What should you do if you meet a vehicle at night with bright or blinding headlights?
- Dim your lights and keep your eyes on the right side of the road — Correct answer
- Turn on your high beams to match the other driver
- Stare directly at the oncoming headlights
- Close your eyes briefly until the vehicle passes
Explanation: The safest thing to do is to dim your own lights and keep your eyes on the right side of the road until the vehicle passes, so the glare does not blind you.

If you meet a vehicle at night that has only one headlight, what is the safest response?
- Drive to the far right of your lane — Correct answer
- Move toward the center line to see better
- Flash your high beams repeatedly
- Speed up to pass it quickly
Explanation: A vehicle with one missing headlight is harder to judge. Drive to the far right of your lane to give it extra room as it passes.
