When switching from high beams to low beams at night, how should you adjust your driving?
Correct answer: B – Reduce speed as needed to stop within the distance you can see
Low beams illuminate less roadway than high beams. The Oklahoma CDL manual estimates about 250 feet of visibility with low beams, compared with approximately 350 to 500 feet with high beams. Drive slowly enough that your total stopping distance remains within the distance illuminated by your headlights; reduce speed whenever the shorter view requires it.
