select a letter to choose your answer
a use special care because pedestrians, bicyclists, and objects on the road won’t be visible in your low beam headlights until they are very close.
b follow close to the vehicle in front of you, so you can see what their headlights reveal.
c drive as you would during the day.

Explanation:

• Option A: Low - beam headlights have a shorter range of illumination compared to high - beams. So, pedestrians, bicyclists, and objects on the road will only be visible when they are relatively close, so special care is needed.
• Option B: Following closely to the vehicle in front is a dangerous driving behavior as it reduces the reaction time in case of sudden stops and is not a safe practice.
• Option C: Driving at night with low - beams is different from driving during the day as visibility is reduced, so one cannot drive the same way.

Answer:

A. Use special care because pedestrians, bicyclists, and objects on the road won't be visible in your low beam headlights until they are very close.
