Which action is NOT a recommended practice for night EVDT driving?

• A. Turn on high-beam headlights at all times
• B. Reduce speed
• C. Increase following distance
• D. Use proper lighting

Answer: (A)

Glare control and appropriate headlight use are crucial in night EVDT driving. High-beam headlights provide more distance visibility, but they also produce intense glare that can blind oncoming drivers and pedestrians. Turning them on at all times would create unsafe conditions for everyone sharing the road, so this isn’t a recommended practice. Use high beams only when there is no oncoming traffic and you’re not following closely; switch to low beams when another vehicle is nearby or when you’re in urban or mixed-traffic areas.

Reducing speed and increasing following distance are prudent in low-light conditions because they give you more time to react and stop if needed. Using proper lighting—aiming headlights correctly and using scene lighting as appropriate—helps you see hazards and makes you more visible without causing unnecessary glare.
