Ensure Proper Lighting: Use your headlights effectively. Use low beams when other cars are nearby and high beams on dark roads with no oncoming traffic.
Keep Windshield Clean: Clean your windshield inside and out to minimize glare from headlights and streetlights.
Reduce Speed: Drive slower than you would during the day to compensate for reduced visibility and to allow for quicker reaction times.
Increase Following Distance: Maintain a greater distance between your car and the vehicle in front to allow for longer braking distances.
Stay Alert: Watch out for pedestrians, cyclists, and animals that are harder to see at night. Be extra vigilant at intersections and crossings.
Avoid Fatigue: If possible, avoid driving when you would normally be asleep. Take breaks every two hours or switch drivers if you're feeling tired.
Check Your Vision: Ensure your vision is adequate for night driving. Have your eyes checked regularly, and wear glasses or contacts if necessary.
