Driving at night
The death rates due to traffic accidents at night are more than three times as much as during the day. However, many drivers are still unaware of the dangers and risks of driving in the night or know how to deal with them effectively. Obviously, driving at night is very dangerous because of the dark. More than two thirds of a driver’s reaction time is based on his visibility. This of course, can get seriously affected in the dark. After sundown, the color and depth perception of the driver becomes severely compromised. Night driving is also dangerous because drivers are generally fatigued. Drowsiness leads to a lull in concentration, which in turn increases the reaction time of the driver.
Prepare your car for the night drive: You can do this by checking your headlights and tail lights to ensure that they are in perfect working condition. Make sure to clean them as well as the windows at least once a week. Also, before you start driving, aim your headlights in the correct direction. Mis-aimed headlights can confuse other drivers, which can lead to serious consequences. They can also impair your visibility.
Never ever make the mistake of drinking and driving: A single drink of alcohol after a long day of work can induce fatigue. Also, the increased alcohol content in your blood will affect your driving abilities. Many drunk drivers have a tendency to unconsciously speed up. This will definitely reduce your stopping distance. Also, try not to smoke before as well as during the drive. The nicotine that enters your bloodstream hampers your night vision. Of course, this may keep you more awake, but will be of no consequence if you cannot see properly.
Be sure to keep your lights on: This is as much for others safety as it is for your own. Accidents are less likely to happen if the other driver can see you clearly and take rational decisions while driving. Also, be sure to keep your high beams off. The high beams can blind any driver in front of you who is checking his rear view mirror. If the car coming towards you keeps his headlights on high beam, you should look to the right hand side of the road. This way, you will avoid the glare, and will still have some sort of a guide.
Make frequent stops to get out of the car and stretch your limbs: Also be sure to have a light snack. This will keep you awake. If you do start feeling tired, do not hesitate to stop the car on the side of the road and take a quick nap to recover.
If in case you have car trouble: stop as far off the road as possible and set up flares. This will warn other car drivers to your predicament.
Be sure to start following the night safety rules as soon as the sun starts to go down. This will allow you to adapt to the change in the amount of light. Also, be sure to drive as slow as you can, so as to increase the stopping distance between you and other vehicles. This will ensure that you reach your destination safely.
