You can be temporarily blinded by approaching headlamps. It can take a second two, or even several or seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who doesn't lower the high beams, a vehicle with or misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring directly into the approaching headlamps. Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle clean -- inside and out. Glare at night is made much worse by dirt on the glass. Eventhe inside of the glass can build upa film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would, making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly. far Remember that your headlamps light up less of a roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your eyes moving; that way, easier to pick out dimly it's lighted objects. Just as your headlamps 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. 1 -I and on Wet Roads Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road, you can't stop, accelerateor turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn'tas good as on dry roads. And, if your tires don't have much tread left,you'll get even less traction. It's always wiseto go slower and be cautious if rain starts to fall while are driving. The you surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement. 4-28
