What effect can dirty headlights have on visibility?

  1. They can improve visibility

  2. They do not affect visibility

  3. They can reduce light output by up to 75 percent

  4. They can completely block light

The correct answer is: They can reduce light output by up to 75 percent

Dirty headlights can significantly reduce light output, which can be as much as 75 percent less than when the headlights are clean. The grime and buildup on the headlight lenses scatter and absorb light, making it more difficult for drivers to see the road ahead and for others to see the vehicle. This reduction in brightness can impair visibility during nighttime driving or in adverse weather conditions, increasing the risk of accidents. Keeping headlights clean ensures that they function effectively, providing maximum illumination and enhancing overall safety on the road. The other options do not accurately reflect the impact of dirty headlights. For example, they do not have the capacity to improve visibility, nor do they simply have no effect. Additionally, while dirty headlights can significantly diminish light output, they do not completely block light unless obstructed by severe conditions.
