You can be temporarily blinded by approaching

headlamps. 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 does not 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 of your eyes contract repeatedly.

Remember that your headlamps light up far less of a

roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep

your eyes moving; that way, it is easier to pick out dimly

lighted objects. Just as your headlamps 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

are not even aware of it.

Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads

Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet

road, you can not stop, accelerate or turn as well because

your tire-to-road traction is not as good as on dry roads.

And, if your tires don not have much tread left, you will get

even less traction. It is always wise to go slower and be

cautious if rain starts to fall while you are driving. The

surface may get wet suddenly when your reﬂexes are

tuned for driving on dry pavement.
