Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving
because some drivers are likely to be impaired — by
alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by
fatigue.
Night driving tips include:
. Drive defensively.
. Do not drink and drive.
. Reduce headlamp glare by adjusting the inside
rearview mirror.
. Slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles because headlamps can only light
up so much road ahead.
. Watch for animals.
. When tired, pull off the road.
. Do not wear sunglasses.
. Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps.
. Keep the windshield and all glass on your vehicle
clean — inside and out.
. Keep your eyes moving, especially during turns or
curves.
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 might need at least twice as much
light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
