When driving on dark winter mornings and evenings on unlit country roads, what should a driver be aware of?
- On country roads, cyclists have space in the margin of the road so that a driver can overtake them without reducing speed or moving out.
- An oncoming cyclist could never be dazzled by the vehicle lights and wobble off course into the driver's path.
- Correct answerCyclists are much more vulnerable in poor lighting conditions.
- Cyclists all wear reflective belts, have the correct lighting on their bicycles and are clearly visible.
Explanation
Drivers should take extra care when driving on dark winter mornings and evenings : vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians (particularly schoolchildren) might not be so easy to see in low light conditions.

在黑暗的冬季早晨和晚上驾驶在无照明的乡村道路时，驾驶员应注意什么？
- 在乡村道路上，骑自行车的人可以利用路边的空间，这样驾驶员无需减速或变道就能超车。
- 迎面而来的骑自行车者不会被车辆灯光晃到而偏离路线进入驾驶员的行驶路径。
- 在光线不佳的情况下，骑自行车的人更容易受到伤害。
- 骑行者都佩戴反光带，正确安装自行车灯光，并且清晰可见。
驾驶员在冬季早晨和晚上的黑暗时段行驶时应格外小心：在光线较弱的情况下，像骑自行车的人和行人（尤其是学童）等弱势道路使用者可能不易被看到。
