Night

Vision

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

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 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

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,

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

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
