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 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the

glare from headlamps behind you.

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.
