USAREUR Practice Exam

During twilight hours, drivers must be especially cautious when:

1. Driving alone

2. Passing other vehicles

3. Speeding to reach the destination

4. Looking for street signs

The correct answer is: Passing other vehicles

During twilight hours, visibility can be significantly reduced due to the low light conditions, making it more challenging to see other vehicles clearly. This lack of visibility can lead to increased risk when passing other vehicles, as the driver may not fully perceive their speed or distance. Additionally, the drivers of oncoming vehicles may also have difficulty seeing the passing vehicle clearly, which heightens the risk of accidents. Being especially cautious while passing ensures that the driver considers these factors, resulting in safer maneuvering in potentially hazardous conditions. In contrast, while solitary driving, speeding, or searching for street signs may also require attention, the specific danger during twilight is most pronounced while passing, as that action involves critical timing and judgment in limited visibility.
