Tips for Driving Safely at Night
When driving at night, it is important to keep the following safety tips in mind:
- Keep your windshield, tail lights, headlights and signal lights clean.
- Do not drive so fast that you cannot stop within the distance illuminated by your lights.
- Only use your high beam lights when there are no other cars coming towards you or in front of you.
- Avoid smoking in the car at night; the smoke can impair your vision.
- Turn your headlights on whenever daylight has faded or begins to fade. This includes dawn and dusk.
- Get routine eye exams and keep your glasses/contact prescriptions up to date.
- Reduce your speed and increase your following distances. It is easier for surprises to happen in the dark.
- Make frequent stops while driving at night to help keep yourself alert.
- Don’t drive while impaired. This includes not driving while tired or exhausted as well as not drinking and driving.
