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.

D

Drive defensively.

D

Don’t drink and drive.

D

Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.

D

Since you can’t see as well, you may need to 
slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles.

D

Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only so much road ahead.

D

In remote areas, watch for animals.

D

If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place 
and rest.
