Which practice helps reduce glare and improve night visibility?

• A. Increase speed to pass quickly.
• B. Use high beams in town.
• C. Skip windshield cleaning.
• D. Use low-beam headlights in town, switch to high beams where appropriate, keep windows and windshield clean, and reduce glare.

Answer: (D)

At night, glare from oncoming headlights and reflections inside the car can wash out your vision. The best way to reduce glare and improve night visibility is to use the right headlight setting for the situation and keep the glass clean. In town, use low-beam headlights so you illuminate the road without blinding other drivers or pedestrians. Switch to high beams only when you’re on dark, open roads with no oncoming traffic and you can see far ahead. Keeping the windows and windshield clean minimizes light reflections and scattering, which helps you see more clearly. Options that involve speeding, using high beams in town, or skipping windshield cleaning either add glare or reduce visibility, so they’re not effective strategies.
