A driver has been driving regularly in daylight and must now undertake a journey at night. What should the driver do?
- A Drive at a higher speed than during the day as traffic is lighter at night.
- B Drive at a higher speed than during the day to minimise the chances of following asleep.
- C Drive at a slower speed than in the day as visibility is reduced at night.
- D Drive at the same speed as during the day as there is no extra danger.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Drive at a slower speed than in the day as visibility is reduced at night..
If you are not familiar with driving at night time; it can take quite a while to adjust to conditions. For that reason; you might need to drive slower until you get used to the reduced visibility at night.
