You are approaching the Velsertunnel. It is still full daylight outside and you are wearing sunglasses. What do you do?
- Dipped headlights on well before the tunnel, I keep my sunglasses on
- Sunglasses off, dipped headlights only once I enter the tunnel
- ✓ Dipped headlights on well before the tunnel and sunglasses off
Correct answer: Dipped headlights on well before the tunnel and sunglasses off
Explanation
False — you switch the lights on too late. Switch on dipped headlights well before the tunnel; if they only come on inside, drivers behind think you are braking
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you think the sunglasses can stay on because it is bright outside. Inside the tunnel it is much darker; take them off before entering the tunnel
- Wrong: you switch the lights on too late. Switch on dipped headlights well before the tunnel; if they only come on inside, drivers behind think you are braking
