Driving After Dark: A Short Guide

Night driving asks more of your eyes and judgment. Here is how to prepare for it sensibly.

Daniel Brooks

Reduced visibility changes how far ahead you can plan. Slower speeds and cleaner routines make up the difference.

See and be seen

Keep your windscreen and lights clean, and switch to dipped beams in good time when other road users approach.

Deal with glare

Avoid looking directly at oncoming headlights. Guide yourself with the road edge until the vehicle has passed.

Know your limits

Tiredness affects reactions more than most drivers expect. If you feel drowsy, stop somewhere safe and rest.
