  36. Why are high beams especially dangerous to a motorcyclist?

    Top view of a two-lane road at night: a blue car drives with its headlights lighting the road a short way ahead, and a motorcycle with its headlight on comes the other way.
    • Motorcycle headlights are weaker than car headlights
    • Motorcycles do not have mirrors to block the glare
    • Riders steer by balance, so being blinded is more dangerous
    • Motorcycles cannot stop as quickly as large trucks
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Riders steer by balance, so being blinded is more dangerous

    Because motorcyclists use their balance to steer, the blinding effect of high beams can be far more dangerous to them than to drivers of cars or large trucks.
