How can a pedestrian walking along a poorly lit road reduce the risk of an accident occurring?

  1. A.Walk on the left hand side of the road.
  2. B.Walk as part of a group.
  3. C.Wear dark clothing.
  4. D.Wear high-visibility clothing.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Wear high-visibility clothing.

Even with the best headlights, drivers can see less at night than during the day. Pedestrians and unlit bicycles are extremely difficult to see in the dark, particularly if they have to deal with the glare of oncoming lights. Pedestrians should always wear bright and hi-vis clothing during the day and reflective clothing at night when walking outside built-up areas.
