Compared to driving during the day, driving at night is:
- Less dangerous.
- No more or less dangerous.
- More dangerous. ✓
- Easier on your eyes.
Answer: C. More dangerous.
Driving at night is more dangerous than driving during the day.
Why this is the answer
The handbook states plainly that night driving is much more dangerous than daytime driving, and it gives the reason: many people do not see as well in the dark. Because of that, it recommends taking a trip during daylight hours when you can. So when you compare the two, the nighttime is the riskier choice, which is what the correct answer says.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Less dangerous. — The handbook says night driving is much more dangerous, not less dangerous, than daytime driving.
- B. No more or less dangerous. — The handbook treats the two as clearly different, calling night driving much more dangerous rather than equally safe.
- D. Easier on your eyes. — The handbook says many people do not see as well at night, so night driving is harder on your eyes, not easier.
Remember it
If you can't see as well, the road is less forgiving — pick daylight for long trips and never drive tired.
