How many feet should your car be visible?

All vehicles, including animal-drawn vehicles, must have at least one white light visible from a distance of not less than 1,000 feet to the front.

Should you be able to see the front of your car?

You should not be looking at when driving nor should you be looking at the road directly in front of the vehicle. You should be looking as far down the road as possible. In the general case, the front of the vehicle will be in your peripheral vision. If not you should at least be aware of where the front is.

What reduces visibility while driving?

Reduced visibility conditions include twilight, darkness, rain, snow, fog, smoke, and bright sunshine.

When driving at night you should dim your headlights when?

If you are driving with your high-beam lights on, you must dim them at least 500 ft from any oncoming vehicle, so you don't blind the oncoming driver. You must use low-beam lights if you are within 200-300 ft of the vehicle you are following.

At what distance are you required to dim your headlights at night?

When you are driving at night or at any time when you cannot see clearly 150 metres (500 feet) in front of you, you must turn your headlights on. Daytime running lights are not bright enough to be used at night. They are too dim and the tail-lights and instrument panel lights will not be on.

How do I stop the glare on my oncoming headlights?

When faced with an oncoming high beam, look down toward the right side of the road to avoid the glare. However, do not completely take your eyes off the road. By slightly lowering your line of sight, you should still be able to see the lines on the road and stay in your lane until the car causing the glare passes.

What happens if you are too short to drive?
