Final answer:

Switch to low beam headlights when you are within at least 60 meters of the vehicle in front to ensure their vision is not impaired, following safe driving practices.

Step-by-step explanation:

When driving at night and following another vehicle, you should switch to low beam headlights to avoid blinding the driver ahead of you. While the specific distance for switching to low beams can vary by jurisdiction, common guidance is to switch at least when you are within 60 meters of the vehicle in front of you. This provides a balance between maintaining visibility and not impairing the vision of other drivers. The answer to the question is (a) 60 m, and this falls under the category of safe driving practices, which is part of driver's education.
