Night driving can be more difficult than driving during the day because:
- Cars overheat more quickly at night.
- Visibility is reduced in the dark. ✓
- It is more likely to be raining at night.
- You are more likely to encounter a motorcycle at night.
Answer: B. Visibility is reduced in the dark.
Visibility is reduced in the dark, making night driving more difficult than daytime driving.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says most driving decisions depend on what you see, and at night you must make up for reduced visibility. It explains that night driving is more dangerous because the distance you can see ahead or to the side is shorter. That is why you should slow down and choose a speed that lets you stop within the range of your headlights. The correct choice matches that main reason: darkness cuts down what you can see.

Remember it
Think sight first: less light means less sight, so give yourself more room to stop.
