True or False: During nighttime driving, you should maintain a greater distance from the vehicle in front of you.

True
False
Only if speed limits allow
Only in rural areas

The correct answer is: True

Maintaining a greater distance from the vehicle in front of you during nighttime driving is essential for safety. This is because visibility is reduced at night, making it more challenging to see the road, obstacles, or potential hazards. By increasing the following distance, you ensure that you have ample reaction time if the vehicle ahead suddenly stops or if an unexpected situation arises. Nighttime also presents unique challenges, such as glare from oncoming headlights, which can further impair depth perception and judgment. A greater distance provides a buffer that can compensate for these difficulties, improving overall safety during nighttime driving conditions.
