Safe drivingQuestion 284 of 310

You meet an oncoming vehicle at night. You dim your high beams when it is how far away, by the handbook?

  1. 60 metres
  2. 110 metres
  3. 200 metres
  4. 450 metres
Show answer

Correct answer: 450 metres

Dim early so the other driver is not blinded. The distance is longer for oncoming traffic than for a vehicle you follow.
