High

Beams

If

the vehicle approaching you has its

high beams on, signal by flicking yours

to high and then back to low beam. This

is the usual signal to lower the headlight

beams.

If

the other driver still doesn’t

lower the beams, resist the temptation

to

put your high beams

on.

This only

makes two half-blinded drivers.

On a freeway, use your high beams only

in remote areas where you won’t impair

approaching drivers. In some places,

like cities, using high beams is illegal.

When

you

follow another vehicle on a

freeway or highway, use low beams.

True, most vehicles now have day-night

mirrors that enable the driver to reduce

glare. But outside mirrors are not

of

this

type and high beams from behind can

bother the driver ahead.

A

Few More Night Driving

Suggestions

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.

Tobacco smoke also makes inside glass

surfaces very filmy and can be a vision

hazard if it’s left there.

Dirty glass makes lights dazzle and flash

more than clean glass would, making the

pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly.

You

might even want

to

keep a cloth

and some glass cleaner in your vehicle if

you need to clean your glass frequently.

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.
