Always use ___ lights when approaching other cars so as not to blind the driver. Also use ____ beam when driving where there are street lights, in fog and when following another car closely.

• A. Low, Lower
• B. High, Low
• C. Bright, High
• D. Low, High

Answer: (A)

When you’re behind or approaching other vehicles, it’s important to reduce glare so the other driver isn’t blinded and you can still see the road ahead. That’s why you switch to low beams when approaching another car. In conditions like street-lit areas, fog, or when you’re following someone closely, the same idea applies—you should use the lower beam. The glare from high beams can reflect back in fog or into the eyes of the driver ahead, making it harder for everyone to see. High beams are best saved for very dark, empty roads with no oncoming traffic. So, using low beams in those scenarios and the lower beam in fog, street-lit areas, and when following another vehicle is the safest, best practice.
