How can you use the lights of a vehicle ahead to help you?

• A. To warn you of bumps and hollows
• B. To increase your speed
• C. To signal lane changes
• D. To read the driver’s mood

Answer: (A)

Using the vehicle ahead’s lights as a guide lets you see and anticipate the road surface ahead. When the car in front travels over bumps or hollows, the way the light reflects and the pattern of the vehicle’s motion give you a warning that the road isn’t flat. This lets you slow down and adjust your steering before you reach the rough patch, making the drive smoother and safer. It’s not about speeding up, signaling a lane change, or judging the other driver’s mood.
