What should a driver do when approaching an animal on the road at night?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Dim high beams to dipped headlights, slow down, and sound horn if necessary
- Step 1: Animal encounters at night. Step 2. High beams freeze animals in their tracks; switch to low beams so they can see their escape route, and decelerate. Answer: Dim high beams to dipped headlights, slow down, and sound horn if necessary. Why not the others: High beams blind and freeze animals; aggressive flashing disorients them; animals do not predictably jump clear.
