What should Dave do regarding the defective headlight?

Explanation: • Report it to his supervisor: No, this is not sufficient. DVSA require a defect report to be 'in writing'.
• Do nothing as it's a bright summers day and won't need his lights: No, the scenario tells us it is cold and icy and a snowplough is on the road - this suggests poor weather and the need for headlights.
• Record the defect in the defect book and report it to his supervisor when he returns to base: No, he should not leave base with a defect that is safety related.
• Record the defect in the defect book and report it to his supervisor before leaving base: Yes.
