Overdriving your headlights at night is dangerous because:

  1. You are driving too fast.

  2. Your headlights are too bright.

  3. You cannot stop the distance that you can see.

  4. It is not good for your car battery.

The correct answer is: You cannot stop the distance that you can see.

Overdriving your headlights is dangerous because it means that you are driving at a speed that is faster than the distance your headlights can illuminate. This can result in reduced visibility and limited reaction time to potential hazards on the road. Option A is not correct because it does not address the main issue of visibility. Option B may be true, but it is not the main reason for the danger of overdriving your headlights. Option D does not address the immediate danger of reduced visibility and increased reaction time. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate answer.
