1
Driving at night is very different from driving
in the daytime.

At night your vision and depth perception are
reduced significantly.

Lots of people might imagine that it is not safe
in any respect, but there are a couple of
suggestions that anyone can use to make your
night time driving much safer.
4
It is best to keep your automobile maintained to
keep safe while driving at night.
5
Keeping your automobile clean can really help
keep your visibility, higher at night.
6
Unclean windows can cause trouble when trying to
view the street or even surrounding vehicles.
7
Car headlights that are dirty will decrease the
amount of light produced, making the road less
visible and difficult to see.
8
If you turn your headlights on and they don't aim
in a straight line in front of the car they may
be out of alignment and need to be inspected.
9
While behind the wheel, don't keep your high
beams on, especially when there is other
approaching traffic on the highway, your high
beams will just blind other drivers.
10
You should always keep your fog lights off during
normal night time driving as well.
11
Fog lights are designed specifically for fog and
can possibly blind another person during normal
conditions.
12
Your vision at night isn't as good as it is
during the day, however there quite a few things
that you can do to help improve it.
13
You can find a type of eyeglasses that help
decrease glare at night while looking at certain
things.
14
Wearing these eyeglasses will help your vision
become much better.
15
It is best to keep your interior lights off, to
help keep your eyes focused on the road.
16
Having any interior light can cause your eyes to
become less accustomed to the dark at night.
17
You may also turn your rear view mirror into its
night mode by flipping the small knob at the
bottom.
18
The mirror's night mode dims the headlights of
automobiles behind you so you are not blinded.
19
When there is approaching traffic try not to look
directly ahead at these oncoming lights.
20
Many people forget to turn their high beams off
so it can be quite bothersome and very hard to
see the road.

If this happens you should look down closer to
the road and use the painted line towards the
right side of the road as a steering guide.
22
If you keep these suggestions in mind while
driving at night it can be just as safe as
driving during the day.
