Explanation
When driving at night, visibility is reduced, making it more difficult to see and react to hazards on the road. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you can stop within the distance lighted by your headlights. This means that you should not drive too fast or "overdrive your headlights", as you might not have enough time to stop if a hazard suddenly appears. By driving at a speed that allows you to stop within the distance lighted by your headlights, you can increase your reaction time and reduce the risk of a collision.
