Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Drive at a speed that enables the driver to stop within the distance ahead that they can see to be clear..
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.
