Night
driving
is
more
dangerous
than
day
driving.
One
reason
is
that
some
drivers
are
likely
to
be
impaired
--
by
alcohol
or
drugs,
with
night
vision
problems,
or
by fatigue.
Here
are
some
tips on night
driving.
Drive defensively.

Adjust
your
inside
rearview
mirror
to
reduce
the
glare
from
headlamps
behind
you.
Since
you
can’t
see
as well,
you
may
need
to
slow
down
and
keep
more
space
between
you
and
other
vehicles.
Slow
down,
especially
on
higher
speed
roads. Your
headlamps
can
light
up
only
so
much
road
ahead.
In remote
areas,
watch
for
animals.
If
you’re
tired,
pull
off
the
road
in
a
safe
place
and
rest.
Night
Vision
No one
can
see
as well at night
asin the
daytime.
But
as
we
get
older
these
differences
increase.
A
50-year-old
driver
may
require
at
least
twice
as
much
light
to
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
at
night.
They
may
cut
down
on
glare
from headlamps,
but
they
also
make
a
lot
of
things
invisible.
