At what distance must your headlights remain on low beam when an oncoming vehicle is approaching?

  1. 500 feet

  2. 750 feet

  3. 1,000 feet

  4. 1,500 feet

The correct answer is: 1,000 feet

Headlights must be on low beam when an oncoming vehicle is within 1,000 feet. This regulation is in place to prevent blinding the driver of the oncoming vehicle, allowing for safer nighttime driving. High beams can significantly reduce the visibility of the oncoming driver, creating a hazardous situation on the road. Maintaining low beam headlights at this distance ensures that your vehicle is adequately lit without impairing the vision of others, promoting overall road safety. The other provided distances, while they may seem reasonable, do not comply with the legally established distance for switching to low beam in the presence of oncoming traffic, highlighting the importance of following this specific guideline for the protection of all road users.
