A driver has been driving regularly in daylight and must now undertake a journey at night. What should the driver do?

  1. A.Drive at a slower speed than in the day as visibility is reduced at night.
  2. B.Drive at the same speed as during the day as there is no extra danger.
  3. C.Drive at a higher speed than during the day to minimise the chances of falling asleep.
  4. D.Drive at a higher speed than during the day as traffic is lighter at night.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. Drive at a slower speed than in the day as visibility is reduced at night.

If you are not familiar with driving at night time, it can take quite a while to adjust to conditions. For that reason, you might need to drive slower until you get used to the reduced visibility at night.
