at night.
◇
Driving Carefully.
◇
Do not drive after drinking.
◇
Adjust the mirror inside the vehicle
to reduce glare from the head light of
vehicles behind.
◇
Keep a big distance from other
vehicles.
◇
Slow down speed, especially wh
-en driving on express way, with the
head light illuminating a limited area
ahead.
◇

in countryside area.
◇
If you feel tired, stop your vehicle
beside the road and have a rest.
◇
Approaching the head light may
make you blind temporarily. After one
to two seconds or even more
seconds, your eyes can re-adapt to
dark environment. If there is glaring
light, for example, in a case where a
driver does not change head light to
dipped light or his head light is poorly
aligned, slow down speed. Avoid
seeing the head light from vehicles
ahead.
◇
Keep the internal and external
surface of front window and all
glasses

internal surface. Dirty glass makes
light more glaring than clean glass,

by rotating your eyes constantly when
turning or driving on curve road.
