Ya... one of the ones I missed was:

When following a vehicle at night, what is the best way to see further ahead?
A) Increase your following distance
B) Use the headlights of the vehicle ahead
C) Drop back and use your high beams


Of course, B is the correct answer, but A is ALSO something that you should do at night, or any time visibility is impaired. With it being the first on the list, it is very easy to pick one of the correct things to do, rather than the answer to the question, which is how to see further down the road. Of course, increasing following distance does nothing to help forward visibility, unless you are already too close to an 18 wheeler.
