When driving, you must always use your _______

High beams
Headlights
Turn signals
Brake lights

The correct answer is: Headlights

While all the listed options are important to use while driving, the question specifically mentions "always", making high beams, turn signals, and brake lights incorrect choices. High beams are only used in low visibility situations and must be turned off when other vehicles are approaching. Turn signals are used only when turning or changing lanes. Brake lights are only activated when you are slowing down or coming to a stop. Headlights, however, must always be used while driving to increase visibility for both yourself and other drivers on the road. Therefore, B Headlights is the correct answer.
