What is the recommended practice when riding at night and no other vehicles are around?

Keep the low beam on at all times
Use high beam all the time
Use only the parking lights
Use the high beam when not following or meeting other vehicles

The correct answer is: Use the high beam when not following or meeting other vehicles

When riding at night and no other vehicles are around, it is recommended to use the high beam when not following or meeting other vehicles. This is the correct practice because using the high beam in these situations can improve your visibility of the road ahead. High beams can help you see road hazards, animals, or obstacles more clearly, allowing you to react in a timely manner. However, it is crucial to switch back to low beam when there is oncoming traffic or when you are following another vehicle to avoid blinding the other drivers. The other options are incorrect: A. Keeping the low beam on at all times would limit your visibility at night, especially when no other vehicles are around. B. Using the high beam all the time can blind other drivers, creating a hazardous situation on the road. C. Using only the parking lights is not sufficient for providing proper visibility when riding at night; it is important to use the appropriate headlights to see the road clearly.
