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
headlights, but they also make a
lot
of
things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded by approaching lights. It can take a second
or two,
or
even several seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When
you are faced with severe glare
(as
from a driver who doesn’t lower the high
beams,
or
a vehicle with misaimed headlights), slow down a little. Avoid
staring directly into the approaching lights.
Keep your windshield and all the glass
on
your vehicle clean
-
inside and
out. Glare at night is made much worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside
of the glass can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes lights
dazzle and flash more than
clean
glass would, making the pupils
of
your
eyes
contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlights light up far less
of
a roadway when you are
in a turn or curve. Keep your eyes moving; that way, it’s easier to pick out
dimly lighted objects. Just as your headlights should be checked regularly
for proper aim,
so
should your eyes be examined regularly. Some drivers
suffer from night blindness
-
the inability
to
see in dim light
-
and aren’t
even aware of it.
Driving in
the
Rain
Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road
you
can’t stop,
accelerate or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn’t as good as
on
dry roads. And,
if
your
tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll get even
