Flashcards

Driving through a tunnel

When entering a tunnel during the day, turn on your low beam headlights and reduce your speed. This enhances visibility and allows you to react quicker in case of unexpected events.

Driving at night with other vehicles

When driving behind another vehicle at night, use low beam headlights. High beams can blind the driver in front of you, leading to a dangerous situation.

Using high beams

If you encounter an oncoming vehicle while using high beams, switch to low beams immediately. High beams can cause glare and potentially unsafe driving conditions for the other driver.

Refueling your car

Always turn off the engine when refueling your vehicle. Fuel vapors can be highly flammable, and keeping the engine running poses a significant fire hazard.
