Explanation
When driving at night on a dimly lit street, you should drive at a speed that allows you to stop within the area illuminated by your headlights. Reduced visibility at night can impair your judgment of distances, ability to perceive colors, and peripheral vision. Avoid driving faster than a speed that would prevent you from stopping in time to avoid any hazards within the illuminated area ahead.
