What should you do when using slow beams at night?

Check mirrors
Flash lights from low to high
Slow down
Tap horn

The correct answer is: Check mirrors

When using low beams at night, it is essential to check mirrors regularly for several reasons. Low beams illuminate the road immediately ahead but do not provide long-range visibility. Keeping an eye on the mirrors ensures that the driver is aware of other vehicles approaching from behind and can respond to any potential hazards. This practice enhances situational awareness, allowing the driver to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and ensure safe maneuvers when necessary. While slowing down contributes to overall safety in low visibility conditions, the primary action should focus on maintaining awareness of the surrounding environment, which checking mirrors accomplishes effectively. Flashing lights from low to high is generally not advisable in most driving situations, as it can confuse other drivers. Tapping the horn may alert others to your presence, but it does not replace the crucial need to monitor what's happening around you with your mirrors.
