At night; what effect could driving with a single headlight have on oncoming drivers?

  1. It could enable them to see the vehicle more clearly.
  2. They could mistake the vehicle for a motorcycle.
  3. It could dazzle them.
  4. It would have no effect on oncoming drivers.

Correct Answer

They could mistake the vehicle for a motorcycle.

Explanation: Motor vehicles (except motorcycles) are required by law to have two headlights. A vehicle with only one headlight could be mistaken for a motorcycle and other road users could believe that it is in a different position on the road than it actually is. Vehicle lights should be checked on a regular basis and repair faulty lighting immediately.
