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 to

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

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. 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 headlamps, but

they

also make a lot

of things invisible.

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

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

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 of a

roadway when you are

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

it.
