This section tests your knowledge of using headlights appropriately, maintaining safe following distances, and reducing speed when visibility is limited by darkness, fog, rain, or snow. It highlights the importance of staying alert for pedestrians, cyclists, and wildlife, which are often harder to see at night. Drivers are also assessed on the proper use of windshield wipers and defrosters. Mastering these skills helps ensure you can navigate safely at night or in low-visibility conditions, protecting yourself and others on the road.
