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.
0 Drive defensively.
0 Don’t drink and drive.
0 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlamps
behind
you.
0 Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more
space between you and other vehicles.
0 Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlamps can light
up
only so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
0 If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest.
Night Vision
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.
What
you do in the daytime can also affect your night vision. For example,
if you spend the day in bright sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses.
Your eyes will have
less trouble adjusting to night. But if you’re driving,
don’t wear sunglasses at night. They may
cut down on glare from
headlamps, but they also make a lot of things invisible.
