You’re driving around a left-hand bend at night. Which lights should you use if there’s oncoming traffic?

Explanation: At night, you should dip your headlights to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers or those ahead of you. If you're being overtaken, dip your headlights as the other vehicle comes past. Look ahead for hazards before you switch to dipped beam, because your view of the road ahead will suddenly be reduced.
