Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3RIWNG AT NIGHT
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.
Don’t drink and drive.
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.

No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as we get older
these differences increase.
A SO-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.
You can be temporarily blinded by 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 severe glare
(as from a driver who doesn’t
lower the high beams,
or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down
a little. Avoid staring directly into the approaching lights.
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. Even the
inside
of the glass can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would, making the pupils
of
your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up
far less of a roadway when you
are
in a turn or curve. Keep your cyes moving; that way, it’s easier to pick
out dimly 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.
