To improve visibility lowered by rain or fog, drivers should use their:
- Low beam headlights. ✓
- High beam headlights.
- Parking lights.
Answer: A. Low beam headlights.
Use low beam headlights when rain or fog makes it harder to see.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says headlights on high beam reflect rain, fog and snow as it falls, which makes it even harder for you to see. For better visibility in these weather conditions, it tells you to keep your headlights on low beam. It also says parking lights or daytime running lights are not a replacement for headlights. So the choice that matches the handbook is low beam headlights, not high beams or parking lights.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. High beam headlights. — High beams reflect rain, fog and snow as it falls, which makes it harder to see, so they are not the way to improve visibility.
- C. Parking lights. — Parking lights are not a replacement for headlights, and the manual says headlights do a better job.
Remember it
Think low beams for low visibility in wet or foggy weather; high beams reflect light back at you.
