Explanation
"Driving within the range of your headlights" means maintaining a speed that allows you to stop safely within the distance illuminated by your headlights. At night, reduce your speed-especially in unfamiliar areas - so you can react and stop within your visible range. Driving faster than what your headlights reveal is extremely dangerous and greatly increases the risk of a collision.
