What lights should you use if surface spray occurs on the motorway?

  1. Full beam headlights

  2. No lights

  3. Hazard lights

  4. Dipped headlights

The correct answer is: Dipped headlights

If surface spray occurs on the motorway, you should use dipped headlights. This will increase your visibility without causing excessive glare for other drivers. Option A, full beam headlights, should not be used as it can reflect off of the water particles and cause even worse visibility. Option B, no lights, is not recommended as other drivers need to be able to see your vehicle in low visibility conditions. Option C, hazard lights, should not be used as it may confuse other drivers or make it difficult to see when you are signaling to change lanes. Therefore, option D, dipped headlights, is the most appropriate choice in this situation.
