Question 695 · Car theory test
What would make a pedestrian more visible to a driver at night?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Wearing a high-vis jacket.
Official explanation
Even with the best vehicle headlights, drivers can see less at night than during the day. Pedestrians, as vulnerable road users, are extremely difficult to see in the dark. Wearing reflective clothing makes pedestrians more visible. Pedestrians should always wear bright and light clothing during the day and reflective clothing at night when walking outside built-up areas.
