Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely to be
impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night vision
problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
•
Drive defensively.
•
Do not drink and drive.
•
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.
•
Since you can not see as well, you may need to
slow down and keep more space between you
and other vehicles.
•
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only so much road ahead.
•
In remote areas, watch for animals.
•
If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But
as we get older these differences increase. A
50-year-old driver may require at least twice as much
light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
