Driving at Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.

One reason is that some drivers are likely to be

impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night vision

problems, or by fatigue.

Here are some tips on night driving.

• Drive defensively.

• Do not drink and drive.

• Since you cannot 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 so much road ahead.

• In remote areas, watch for animals.

• If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe place

and rest.

No 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 are driving,

do not wear sunglasses at night. They may cut down on

glare from headlamps, but they also make a lot of things

invisible.
