Which 2 statements about operating your lights at night when there is a vehicle coming toward you are correct? Select TWO
💡 Hint
When driving toward oncoming traffic at night, you must operate your headlights to prevent glare for the other driver, and this duty comes with a proviso (exception) (Article 20(1)1 of the Enforcement Decree). Also think about why answering with your high beams is dangerous.
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
Under Enforcement Decree Article 20(1)1, when vehicles approach each other at night you must dim the headlights, point them downward or briefly switch them off. However, under the proviso of the same item, this is not required if road conditions mean there is no risk of disturbing oncoming traffic. Answering with high beams, or switching to high beams as the other car gets closer, dazzles the other driver and is dangerous.
