Driver's view · Night and weather
Begin night practice on quiet, familiar streets, then build up to busier and darker roads.
What it means
Through the windscreen above your yellow bonnet, a suburban street stretches away at night. Street lights cast pools of light on the road, house windows glow on both sides and there is no other traffic. This is the right setting for your first drives after dark: a street you know well, so judging distance and speed in low light is the only new task.
Choose streets you already drive by day for your first night sessions.
Leave a bigger gap than usual, about four seconds.
Move on to busier roads and unlit country roads only as your confidence grows.
Right.Not quite. The answer is A.
Night driving is harder, so start on familiar, quiet streets and build up to busier and darker roads.
