A Night To Remember by Lenny22: 9:00pm On Oct 15, 2021
Hello guys, I'm here for advice, constructive criticism is welcome.
The following points should be noted
1) I have been driving for a year and half
2) I have a good eye sight
3) I didn't have a reason to drive so late in the night until yesterday.
4) My car's headlight is okay

Here is my plight ;
I lost track of time at a party yesterday, I was driving fine until I got on the high way. I could not position myself on my lane, I occasionally swerved and almost collided with oncoming vehicles. The headlights of the oncoming cars confused me , also I lost my sense of judgement . Although I managed to arrive home safely without getting involved in a crash , I was so scared yesterday.
For those who drive regularly at night, how do you cope with the different headlights on the highway? How do you see perfectly? Kindly help a guyman

For night driving in nigeria I

1. Make it a habit of following a vehicle I can keep up with, I utilize the tail light to know when to brake and when to evade.

2. When alone I always keep to extreme right and bend when the high beam is too much it enables me reposition my self for unknown circumstances.

3. For an highway I dont frequent regularly I dont exceed 50km/h, it enables me to maintain control even when I enter big bumps or potholes then gives me time to survey checkpoints ahead if nah police dey abi nah UGM, bandits, kidnappers, Robbers etc so i can quicky dodge or run enter bush and hide grin

Chai. See postulations ontop how to drive at night!

If your vision isn't sharp and can't accommodate sudden flashes of bright light and sudden darkness, avoid night driving.

If you headlights aim is poor, go fix it or avoid driving at night.

If your headlights aren't bright pls, fix it or stop driving at night.

It's not a must to turn on your highbeams or install the wrong type of light bulbs before you drive at night.

I drive with my low beams and my fog lights when I'm in the city or in a populated zone. I only use highbeams when I'm driving on a lonely unfamiliar road at night especially when it's raining. I flash when a car with high beams on is aproaching, if the driver don't want to dip his beam, I give him a taste of his medicine by turning my highbeams which are super bright by the way.
