Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct

At night, if a pedestrian can see a vehicle's headlights, the driver can also see the pedestrian clearly.

[True / False · Easy]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

Section 1 of the text states, "At night, even if a pedestrian can see a vehicle's headlights, the driver may not be able to see the pedestrian clearly." Since the driver may not see the pedestrian even when the pedestrian can see the headlights, this statement is incorrect.

Nope. Headlights light up the road for them, not you—so always assume you're invisible and make yourself seen.
