Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Watch out for pedestrians wearing dark clothing.

While driving at night and even with the best headlights, it can be very difficult to see all the hazards that you might come across : for example, pedestrians wearing dark clothing. As always drivers should drive at a speed that will enable them to stop safely within the distance they can see to be clear ahead.
