It is more dangerous to drive at night than during the day because:

1. You cannot see as far ahead at night. ✓
2. The road is always more slippery at night.
3. Your reaction time is slower at night.

Answer: A. You cannot see as far ahead at night.

You cannot see as far ahead at night, which makes night driving more dangerous than daytime driving.

Why this is the answer

The handbook tells night drivers to make sure they can stop within the distance lit by their headlights. It also notes that motorcycles, pedestrians, and bicyclists are much harder to see after dark. That limited view ahead is what makes night driving riskier; the passages do not tie the danger to a slower reaction time or to roads being always slippery.

Why the other answers are wrong

• B. The road is always more slippery at night. — Night driving does not make the road always more slippery; the handbook discusses rain and headlight use, not a constant slippery surface after dark.
• C. Your reaction time is slower at night. — The handbook does not say reaction time is slower at night; it focuses on how far your headlights let you see and stopping within that lit distance.

Remember it

At night, drive only as fast as the lit stretch ahead lets you stop.
