What does "over-driving" your headlights mean?

  1. Turning the high beams on excessively.

  2. Driving with no headlights on at night.

  3. That you cannot stop within the distance that you can see.

  4. Using bright lights in foggy conditions.

The correct answer is: That you cannot stop within the distance that you can see.

"Over-driving" your headlights means that you are unable to stop your vehicle within the distance that you can see. This can happen when you are driving too fast for the range of your headlights, making it difficult to react to any obstacles or hazards that may suddenly appear in your path. It is crucial to adjust your speed so that you can always safely stop within the distance illuminated by your headlights. This practice is important for nighttime driving or in adverse weather conditions where visibility is reduced.
