This is a timed quiz. You will be given 60 seconds per question. Are you ready?
Explantion: When driving at night you should dip your headlights when meeting or following traffic so as not to dazzle or blind other drivers.
Explantion: You should use full headlights when driving at night in unlit rural areas — this will enable you to see as far ahead as possible. Make sure, however, that your lights do not dazzle or inconvenience other road users in any way.
Explantion: If you are not very used to driving at nighttime, it can take quite a while to adjust to conditions at night For that reason, you might need to drive slower until you get used to the reduced visibility at night.
Explantion: When driving at night you should dip your headlights when you meet oncoming vehicles so that you do not dazzle them. You should also dip your headlights when you are driving behind another vehicle so the driver is not dazzled by your lights in their mirror.
Explantion: In dense fog you should use dipped headlights and fog lights (where fitted). Sidelights are not strong enough in fog. and full headlights can reflect off the fog and make it harder to see where you are going.
Explantion: If you are towing a loaded trailer, you need to be aware that your braking distance could be considerably greater. depending on the weight and size of the trailer.
Explantion: In wet weather vehicles throw up spray and muck from the road. If you are overtaking a large vehicle in wet conditions, you need to move out earlier than normal and give yourself some extra clearance room. This will help reduce the amount of spray on your windscreen.
Explantion: When driving at night in good driving conditions the full headlights of a car will typically let you see 100 metres ahead. So, you should travel at a speed that allows you to stop in that distance.
Explantion: If you are dazzled by the lights of an oncoming vehicle, look towards the verge until the vehicle has passed. Slow down and stop if necessary.
Explantion: At night in good driving conditions the full headlights of a car will typically let you see 100 metres ahead. So, you should travel at a speed that allows you to stop within that distance.
Explantion: In dense fog you should reduce your speed and use dipped headlights and fog lights (where fitted). Sidelights are not strong enough in fog, and full headlights can reflect off the fog and make it harder to see where you are going.
Explantion: When driving a vehicle which is carrying a load, the driver should be aware that the forces acting on the load under braking will increase the distance required to stop.
Explantion: One of the signs that you might be driving on black ice is a sudden decrease in the level of the road noise. This is due to the lack of grip of between the tyres and the road. Another sign is that the steering will seem lighter than normal. If you suspect you are driving on black ice, you should avoid harsh braking, steering and acceleration. This will reduce the risk of skidding.
Explantion: When driving at night in good driving conditions the dipped headlights of a car will typically let you see 30 metres ahead. So, you should travel at a speed that allows you to stop in that distance.

Explantion: If you are dazzled by the lights of an oncoming vehicle, look towards the verge until the vehicle has passed and /or slow down and stop if necessary.
Explantion: When you see a single oncoming headlight at night, you need to be aware that it might not be a motorcycle — it could be a car or a van with a broken headlight.
Explantion: Driving when you are tired can be very dangerous, and tiredness is one of the main causes of serious road collisions. If you become drowsy while driving, stop in a safe place and take a short nap. Then get some fresh air and stretch your legs for a few minutes before setting off again. Taking a caffeine-based drink such as coffee may also help.
Explantion: You should maintain a gap of least two seconds from the vehicle in front — that's the two-second rule.
Explantion: In wet conditions you should maintain a gap of at least four seconds from the vehicle in front — twice as long as in dry conditions.
Explantion: If you are dazzled by the lights of an oncoming vehicle, look towards the verge until the vehicle has passed and /or slow down and stop if necessary.
Explantion: You are responsible for making sure that your vehicle is roadworthy and that its headlights are adjusted correctly. If the headlights are out of line they are less effective and may dazzle oncoming traffic, even when dipped.
Explantion: When driving at night you should dip your headlights when you meet oncoming vehicles so that you do not dazzle them. You should also dip your headlights when you are driving behind another vehicle so the driver is not dazzled by your lights in their mirror.
Explantion: When driving at night in good driving conditions the dipped headlights of a car will typically let you see 30 metres ahead. So, you should travel at a speed that allows you to stop in that distance.
