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.

Drive defensively.

Don’t drink and drive.

Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the

glare from headlamps behind you.

Since you can’t see as well, you may need to

slow down and keep more space between you and

other vehicles.

Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your

headlamps can light up only so much road ahead.

In remote areas, watch for animals.

If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest.

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.
