When driving at night, how far ahead should you be looking?

One mile
500 feet
Three blocks
Half a mile

The correct answer is: Half a mile

When driving at night, it is important to look as far ahead as possible. However, looking too far can cause your eyes to become strained and make it difficult to spot potential hazards. Looking at a distance of half a mile provides a good balance between being aware of your surroundings and keeping your eyes relaxed. Answer A, one mile, is too far, while answer B, 500 feet, is too short. Answer C, three blocks, does not provide an accurate distance and can vary depending on the size of the blocks in different areas.
