What does "overdriving your headlights" mean?

Driving faster than what is visible within the distance your headlights illuminate

"Overdriving your headlights" refers to the scenario where a driver is traveling at a speed that exceeds the distance illuminated by their vehicle's headlights. This means that when a driver is moving too fast, they may not have adequate time to react to obstacles or changes in the road within the range that their headlights can effectively light up. Therefore, if a driver can't see far enough ahead to stop or maneuver safely, they are essentially "overdriving" the reach of their headlights.

This concept emphasizes the importance of adjusting speed according to visibility conditions at night or in low-light environments, ensuring that a driver can adequately respond to any potential hazards. Understanding this term helps promote safer driving practices, especially after dark or in less illuminated areas.
