Question 226 of 802

When encountering a vehicle that travels at night, coming from the opposite direction, on an unlit road, the motor vehicle driver is obliged:

A to drive as close as possible to the right edge of the road;
B to reduce speed;
C to use the audible warning device.

Explanation

For answer  A 

You are not obliged to drive as close as possible to the right edge of the road when encountering a vehicle that travels at night, from the opposite direction, whether the road is illuminated or not. It is possible that you confuse this situation with the situation in which you are overtaken by another vehicle, in which case you are obliged to drive as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway or of the lane on which you move and not to increase the driving speed. Pay attention to these two situations in order not to confuse them!


For answer  B 

When you drive during the night, whether the road is illuminated or not, when approaching another vehicle that travels from the opposite direction (comes from the opposite direction towards the vehicle you are driving), you are obliged that from the distance of at least 200 meters to use the meeting lights, simultaneously with reducing the speed.
If at that moment you drive with the driving lights (high beam) on, you must switch them to the meeting lights (low beam), so as not to disturb those in front, simultaneously with reducing the driving speed.
If at that moment you drive having in operation, instead of the meeting lights, the daytime running lights (DRL), you must turn on the meeting lights (low beam), simultaneously with reducing the driving speed.

We must distinguish between the following two situations that we encounter in the questions in the quizzes but also in everyday traffic:

  • at night, when another vehicle travels from the opposite direction, coming towards us, we will use the meeting lights from at least 200 meters from it, simultaneously with reducing the speed;
  • at night, when another motor vehicle travels in front of us, on the same direction of travel as us, we will use the meeting lights from at least 100 meters from it, without also being mandatory to reduce the speed.

For answer  C 

The road legislation does not provide the obligation to use the audible warning device in this situation.


The correct answer is: B


Recommendations:
Correct use of the lighting and signalling system - Audio-Video Lesson --> Road Traffic Code - The technical condition of vehicles and the lighting and light signalling system
The obligations and prohibitions of vehicle drivers during travel - Audio-Video Lesson --> Road Traffic Code - Obligations, prohibitions and aggressive driving
