Why must you dip your headlights for an oncoming driver?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Full beam can dazzle the driver and cause a collision
- Step 1: Glare reduces vision. Step 2. Dip in time before the vehicles meet. Answer: Full beam can dazzle the driver and cause a collision. Why not the others: Dipped lights are brighter: dipped beam is less bright than full beam, which is the point of dipping. It saves battery power: the energy difference is tiny and is not the reason for dipping. Full beam can damage the glass of the other car at close range: light does not damage glass; the danger is the glare that blinds the other driver.
