Here are some tips on night driving.

Drive defensively.

Don’t drink and drive.

Adjust your inside rearview mirror

reduce the

glare from headlamps behind you.

Since you can’t see as well,

you

may need

slow down and keep more space between you and

other vehicles.

Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your

headlamps can light up only

much road ahead.

In remote areas, watch for animals.

If you’re tired, pull

off

the road in a safe place

and rest.

Night

Vision

one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as

we get older these differences increase.

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

wear sunglasses. Your eyes will

have less trouble adjusting to night. But

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.

You

can be temporarily blinded by approaching

headlamps. It can take

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 headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring

directly into the approaching headlamps.

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

your eyes contract repeatedly.

Remember that your headlamps light up far less

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 headlamps should be

checked regularly for proper aim,

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.
