What should you do if your vehicle's headlights fail while driving at night?

  1. Continue driving with the parking lights on.

  2. Turn on the hazard lights and proceed with caution.

  3. Pull over and stop until the headlights are repaired.

  4. Use high beam headlights temporarily.

The correct answer is: Pull over and stop until the headlights are repaired.

If your vehicle's headlights fail while driving at night, you should pull over and stop until the headlights are repaired. This is because continuing to drive with only parking lights on or using high beam headlights can impair your ability to see the road and other vehicles, increasing the risk of an accident. Additionally, turning on the hazard lights may confuse other drivers on the road. It is important to prioritize safety and wait until the headlights are properly functioning before continuing to drive.
