5 Safety Tips For Driving At Night by Opinionated: 1:45pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
Traveling or driving at night can be quite risky, however, there are some occasions when you just wouldn’t be able to avoid it. In these situations, there are some safety tips to take note of to help keep you safe and protected throughout the journey. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 5 safety tips for driving at night. Use Defensive Driving Techniques It is important to be very anticipatory when driving or traveling at night because you never know which driver might just, out of negligence, get himself in a dangerous driving situation that you don’t want to be anywhere near. It’s also advisable not to tailgate when driving or traveling at night. Avoid Drivers Who are Swerving or Drifting This could indicate the driver is either intoxicated or drowsy on the wheel; you should thus keep your distance from such drivers. Be Sure to Avert Your Eyes From Oncoming Traffic This should be done to help prevent the temporary blindness that comes with your eyes being exposed to the sudden bright light from oncoming cars. It will take your eyes time to adjust to the bright light and that can be dangerous for you while driving. It is, therefore, best to immediately avert your eyes from the light of these oncoming cars to avoid temporary blindness. Get an Anti-Glare Lens Especially when traveling long distances at night, it might not be easy for you to avert your eyes from the bright light of every oncoming car, therefore, it will be easier to use an anti-glare lens. This will help reduce the strain of exterior lights on your eyes without much stress. Dim Your Dashboard Light Bright interior lights can affect your forward vision and ability to see things outside your vehicle. It is best to turn down the dash brightness so the light doesn’t hinder your visibility while driving at night.

The best way to avoid an incident at night is to be watching for lights and movement and keep checking those mirrors. It is as important to keep an eye out for other cars’ headlights as it is to spot other things, such as cars without headlights. At night it is harder to see animals on the side of the road. |

I think the federal government should implement a force that will deal with some idiots that install HID xenon lights on their high beams. Even manufacturers install these lights on low beams but our naija idiots will take a camry 2.2 and install xenon lights on all beams both high and low and in the night they will turn on everything disturbing on coming drivers. Maybe they dont know if they blind an on coming driver their life is also at risk as the blinded driver might end up ramming into them. 1 Like |
