True or False: You should always drive faster than you can see past your headlights.

True
False
Only in emergencies
Only in daylight

The correct answer is: False

Driving faster than you can see past your headlights is unsafe and can lead to dangerous situations. This principle emphasizes the importance of visibility when operating a vehicle at night or in conditions with reduced light. When you exceed the distance that your headlights illuminate, you reduce your reaction time to hazards that may appear on the road, such as pedestrians, animals, or obstacles, which can result in accidents. Driving at a speed that allows you to react to what is ahead within the range of your headlights ensures you maintain control and can make safe driving choices. Therefore, it is crucial to adhere to safe driving practices that prioritize visibility and responsiveness, particularly in low-light conditions.
