Which statement about vehicle lighting is true?

• A. Your lights should not dazzle other road users
• B. You should always use high beam in built-up areas
• C. You must never use sidelights during the day
• D. You should leave headlights on in daylight

Answer: (A)

One principle to keep in mind is using lighting so you’re visible without dazzling other road users. Dazzling others with bright lights can blind or distract them, increasing the chance of a collision, so the aim is to avoid glare while still being seen.

In practice, this means using the appropriate lights for the situation: in built‑up areas or where there’s traffic, avoid high beam and use dipped headlights when visibility is reduced or it is dark. Sidelights aren’t the driving lights you should rely on while moving, and leaving headlights on in daylight isn’t a requirement—headlights are used when visibility is reduced or it’s dark, not automatically all day.
