To improve visibility when following a car at night, you should:

Staying somewhat back and using your low beam is the best choice for improving visibility when following a car at night. Maintaining a safe distance allows you to see more of the road ahead and gives you enough reaction time if the car in front of you stops suddenly. Using your low beam headlights is crucial because it prevents your lights from blinding the driver of the vehicle ahead, which could create a dangerous situation for both the rider and the driver.

This option strikes a balance between safety and visibility. It allows you to have a clear line of sight without causing distractions or impairing the vision of other drivers. In contrast, driving closely behind can increase the risk of collision due to reduced reaction time, and switching to high beams can create glare that is hazardous for other drivers. Frequently changing lanes can also be risky and lead to unpredictable situations on the road.
