Driving at Night
Nigm driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely lo ba
impaired — by aicohal nr drugs, wilh nighi vision
probiams. or by fatigue.
Here are some bps on nlghl driving.
* Drive defensiveiy.
* Don't drink and drivo^
■ Adjust your inside rearview mirror lo reduce the
glare irom headlamps behind you.
* SincB you can't see as well, you may need to slow
down and keep more space belween you and
other vehicles.
* Slow down, espociglly on higher speed roads. Vour
headiampE can liglil up only so much road ahaad.
* In remote areas, watch lor animals.
* II you're trrad, pull off the road In a sale place
and reel.
No one can see as wall 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.
Whal you do In the daytime car also affset your
nighi vision For example, if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Vour
eyes will have less trouble adjusting to night. Bui if
you're driving, don't wear sunglasses at night. They may
cut down on glare Irorri headlamps, but they also
make a lot oF ihings invisible.
