Driving at night

Night driving presents more hazards than driving in the daylight. Here are some important tips to remember:

• Slow down and keep more distance between you and other vehicles, because it may be more difficult to see at night, especially in areas where there are no street lights.

• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other drivers’ headlights.

• Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly aimed headlights can make it much more difficult to see at night.

• Avoid staring directly at the headlights of oncoming vehicles. You may be temporarily blinded, and it takes several seconds for your eyes to readjust to the darkness.
