Lighting and Optical Signals
You are carrying a heavy load in the rear of the vehicle. How does this affect the headlights?
- A The beam lowers and lights less
- ✓ The beam rises and can dazzle oncoming drivers
- C It does not affect the headlights
- D The headlights switch off automatically
Why this is the correct answer
A heavy load in the rear tilts the vehicle backwards and raises the headlight beam, which can dazzle oncoming drivers. This is why the headlight height must be adjusted according to the load.
