You’re driving on a clear night, on a road where the national speed limit applies. Which lights should you use if there’s a steady stream of oncoming traffic?

Explanation: When driving at night, you should use your headlights to help you to see clearly. If the road ahead is clear, your full beam will light up the road some way ahead. If there's oncoming traffic, or you're following another vehicle, you should switch to dipped beam as this will reduce the risk of dazzling the other drivers.
