Driving at Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving because

some drivers are likely to be impaired — by alcohol or

drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue.

Night driving tips include:

• Drive defensively.

• Do not drink and drive.

• Reduce headlamp glare by adjusting the inside

rearview mirror.

• Slow down and keep more space between you and

other vehicles because headlamps can only light up

so much road ahead.

• Watch for animals.

• When tired, pull off the road.

• Do not wear sunglasses.

• Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps.

• Keep the windshield and all glass on your vehicle

clean — inside and out.

• Keep your eyes moving, especially during turns

or curves.

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 might need at least twice as much

light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old.

Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads

Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle traction

and affect your ability to stop and accelerate.

Always drive slower in these types of driving

conditions and avoid driving through large puddles

and deep-standing or ﬂowing water.

{ CAUTION:

Wet brakes can cause crashes. They might not

work as well in a quick stop and could cause pulling

to one side. You could lose control of the vehicle.

After driving through a large puddle of water or a

car/vehicle wash, lightly apply the brake pedal until

the brakes work normally.

Flowing or rushing water creates strong forces.

Driving through ﬂowing water could cause your

vehicle to be carried away. If this happens, you and

other vehicle occupants could drown. Do not ignore

police warnings and be very cautious about trying to

drive through ﬂowing water.
