What can cause a dangerous situation?

Your combination of answers accurately reflects the dangers present in the situations described.

1. Cutting corners can lead to collisions or near-misses, as it may compromise visibility and encroach on other lanes.
2. Dipping your headlights too late can result in not adequately illuminating the road or signaling to other drivers, increasing the risk of accidents.

Driving too far behind the vehicle in front is generally safe, but it may not directly constitute a dangerous situation in the same way as the other two. Maintaining an adequate distance is important, but if a driver is simply maintaining a safe following distance, it does not necessarily contribute to danger.

In summary, both cutting corners and late dipping of headlights can create immediate dangers on the road, making your selection appropriate. Understanding why each situation presents a risk is essential for safe driving under German traffic laws.
