Practice question

When should you use the high-beam lights of your motorcycle at night?

  1. When following a vehicle
  2. When meeting a vehicle
  3. When riding alone
  4. When approaching an intersection

Answer: A — When following a vehicle

Using your high-beam lights while following a vehicle at night can help increase your visibility to the vehicle in front of you. However, using high-beam lights while meeting a vehicle can actually decrease visibility and blind the oncoming driver, making it dangerous for both parties. Riding alone or approaching an intersection do not necessarily require the use of high-beam lights unless visibility is limited.
