At dusk or on overcast days, you should:
- Drive using your four-way flashers.
- Drive using your parking lights.
- Not turn on any vehicle lights.
- Turn on your headlights. ✓
Answer: D. Turn on your headlights.
At dusk or on overcast days, turn on your headlights.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's low-visibility section says you must turn on your headlights when conditions like fog, heavy rain or smoke limit what you can see, and it adds that parking lights are not a substitute. It also says to turn the headlights on when you turn on your windshield wipers. Dusk and overcast weather are low-light, reduced-visibility conditions, so the headlights go on. The night driving section backs this up: Florida law requires headlights from sunset to sunrise and does not allow parking lights alone in place of headlights.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Drive using your four-way flashers. — Four-way flashers are not mentioned in these passages as a lighting choice for dusk or overcast driving; the handbook points to headlights for low visibility.
- B. Drive using your parking lights. — The handbook says directly that parking lights are not a substitute for headlights, and it also bars driving with only parking lights in place of headlights.
- C. Not turn on any vehicle lights. — Driving with no lights at all goes against the handbook's instruction to turn on headlights when visibility drops or when your wipers are on.
Remember it
If the sky is dim or your wipers are on, think headlights, not parking lights.
