On a clear night, your low beams show about 250 feet of the road ahead. What is the longest stopping distance that would still be safe?

Answer options

Why

Your speed should always let you stop inside the stretch of road you can actually see. When low beams reveal about 250 feet, your stopping distance must not go beyond 250 feet, and rain or fog may call for an even slower speed.
