SUMMARY:
- Not keeping enough distance is never a good idea, but at night and in bad weather, it’s especially important to leave enough space between your car and the one ahead of you.
- If the driver behind you hasn’t adjusted their headlights appropriately or they’re following too close and their lights are blinding you, just stay calm and, if possible, adjust your mirrors so that their light doesn’t hit your eye.
- If your rearview mirror doesn’t have an auto-dimming feature, then you need to push the little “night mode” tab at the bottom in order to dim the light from cars behind you.
- Are your headlights angled perfectly but still shining too dimly? That usually happens because of dirt and dust, so the best solution would be to buy a headlight polisher.
- Your body needs a break too. Try some stretching to relax the muscles that get stiff from being in the same position for so long.
- Two-lane highways usually have sharper curves and more hills than freeways. Add to this lower overall light and almost constant glare from oncoming cars, and you’ve got a recipe for extremely stressful nighttime driving.
- Fog lights can be useful not only in poor visibility conditions because of the weather, like fog, smoke, snow, or rain, but also at night in combination with the low or high beams.
- Collisions with deer often happen at dusk or at night and are more common than you think. But your high beams can help you spot an animal’s glowing eyes.
- If you wear glasses, you gotta have a special pair for driving at night because ordinary glasses reflect oncoming lights and create an obscuring glare that reduces your visibility.
- If you drive with maximum brightness, it takes your eyes much longer to adjust to the poorly lit road in front of you when you look up from the dash.
