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.
D Drive defensively.
D Don’t drink and drive.
D Since you can’t see as well, you may need to

slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles.

D Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your

headlamps can light up only so much road ahead.

D In remote areas, watch for animals.
D If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place

and rest.
