Your Driving and the Road But if you're driving, don't wear sunglasses at night. They may cut down on glare from headlights, but theyalso make a lot of things invisible that should remain visible - such as parked cars, obstacles, pedestrians, or even trains blocking railway crossings. You may want to put on your sunglasses after you have pulled into a brightly-lighted service or refreshment area. Eyes shielded from that glare may adjust more quickly to darkness back on the road. But be sure to remove your sunglasses beforeyou leave the service area.-^- You can be temporarily blindedby approaching lights. It can take a second or two, or even several seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are faced with severeglare (as from a driver who doesn't lower the high beams, a or vehicle with misaimed headlights), slow down a little. Avoid staring directly into the approaching lights. If there is a line of opposing traffic, make occasional glances over the line of headlights to make certain that one of the vehicles isn'tstarting to move into your lane. Once you are past the bright lights, give your eyes time to readjust before resuming speed. High Beams [f the vehicle approaching you has its high beams on, signal by flicking yours to high and then back to low beam. This is :he usual signal to lower the headlight beams. If the other driver still doesn't lower the beams, resist the temptation to put your high beams on. This only makes two half-blinded drivers. On a freeway, use your high beams only in remote areas where you won't impair approaching drivers. In some places, like Zities, using high beams is illegal.
