Travel at a speed where your headlights, whether low or high-beam, will be able to illuminate a distance and area in front of your vehicle equal to or less than the distance it would take an average driver to perceive a hazard on or approaching the roadway, react to the hazard (i.e. brake, speed up, swerve, or combination thereof), and stop in time so as to avoid collision with the hazard (e.g. animal, obstacle on roadway, pedestrian, other road user). This takes into account that the vehicle must be traveling at the appropriate speed for the conditions (i.e. weather, road conditions, visibility, etc.) and that the driver is not fatigued or impaired in any other way.
