Driving at Night
There are many reasons why driving is safer during the daytime than at night. Obviously, visibility is higher during the day. Although there is more traffic, drivers are more likely to be wide awake and alert during the day.
Some things to think about when driving at night:
Driving at Night
 |
Ensure your headlights work correctly before starting any journey after dark. |
|
Only drive at a speed that allows you to stop safely within your field of vision. If your headlights are only illuminating the road thirty meters in front of you, you must be able to stop within this distance. Otherwise, you are counting on the area you cannot see being clear. |
|
Do not drive when you are drowsy, exhausted, or otherwise incapacitated |
|
If you find yourself falling asleep at the wheel, pull off to a safe parking area and take a nap, or get out and refresh yourself immediately. |
