In remote areas, watch for animals. If you're tired, pull off the roadin a safe place and rest. Night Vision No one can see as well at night as in daytime. But as we older the get these differences increase. A 50-year-old driver may require at least twice as much lightto see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old. What you do in the daytime can also affect your night vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will have less trouble adjusting to night. But if you're driving, don't wear sunglasses night. They may down on at cut glare from headlights, but they also make a lot of things invisible. You can be temporarily blinded by approaching lights. It can take a second or two, or even several seconds, your eyesto readjust to the for dark. When you are faced withsevere glare (as from a driver who doesn't lower the high beams,or a vehicle with misaimed headlights), slow down a little. Avoid staring directly into theapproaching lights. Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicleclean -- inside and out. Glare at night ismade much worseby dirt on the glass. Eventhe inside of the glass can build a film caused dust. Dirty glass makes up by lights dazzleand flash more than clean glass would, making pupils of the your eyescontract repeatedly. Remember that your headlights light up farless of a roadway when you are in aturn orcurve. Keep your eyes moving; way, it's easier to pick that out dimly lighted objects. Just as your headlights should be checked regularly for proper aim, so should your eyes be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night blindness-- the inability to see in dim light -- and aren't even aware of it. 189
