Headlights should be used when visibility is less than how many feet ahead?

  1. 350 feet

  2. 400 feet

  3. 450 feet

  4. 500 feet

The correct answer is: 500 feet

Using headlights when visibility is less than 500 feet ahead is crucial for safe driving. This guideline helps ensure that drivers can see sufficiently far to react to any obstacles or hazards that may be present on the road, especially in conditions such as fog, rain, or at night when natural light is limited. By turning on headlights when visibility drops below this distance, not only can drivers see better, but their vehicles also become more visible to others, enhancing overall road safety. This practice aligns with rules aimed at minimizing accidents and ensuring that all road users have adequate warning time to react to changing conditions or unexpected occurrences.
