Washington State Department Of Licensing (DOL) Practice Test

At night, you must use ________ whenever you're following another vehicle within 300 feet.

high beams low beams parking lights emergency flashers

Correct Answer:

low beams

Explanation:

When you’re following another vehicle at night, switch to low beam headlights. This keeps light aimed at the road in front of you without shining directly into the back of the other driver’s eyes. High beams can create a glare that blinds or distracts the driver ahead, reducing their ability to see hazards and judge distance, which raises the risk of a collision. Low beams provide enough illumination for you to see the road, lane markings, and obstacles while minimizing glare for others. Parking lights aren’t bright enough or intended for regular night driving, and emergency flashers are only for emergencies.
