When should you use your low beams while driving?

  1. At night in the city

  2. In foggy or misty weather

  3. Both A and B

  4. Only during daytime driving

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Using low beams is essential for maintaining safety and visibility under specific driving conditions. At night in the city, low beams are preferred because they provide adequate illumination of the road without causing glare to other drivers, particularly in environments with streetlights. In foggy or misty weather, low beams are especially important as they minimize the amount of light that reflects off moisture in the air, which can reduce visibility. High beams, on the other hand, tend to scatter in fog and can create a blinding effect, making it even harder to see. Therefore, using low beams encompasses both the scenarios of driving at night in urban areas and during adverse weather conditions like fog, making the combined choice the best answer.
