How to drive safely with low light
During the winter season there are fewer daylight hours and we have to drive in limited natural light. Here are some key tips from ALD Automotive to help you drive easier.
Vehicle lights
Proper use of signal lights and adequate communication with other vehicles so that we give clear signals as to our intentions on the road are important safety factors. Driving with faulty lights or poorly adjusted headlights affects both the driver and other road users. Improperly functioning lights can prevent others from seeing us or even blind drivers of surrounding vehicles. So always be sure your vehicle's lights are in good working order.
Driver's vision
Of course, the state of the driver's vision is also crucial. It turns out that a lot of people actually drive with less vision than necessary and even have serious problems reading road signs. We all understand that these factors are worrying and make the challenges on the road serious. In case you encounter such difficulties, take care of your vision condition so that you can see well on the road and feel safe.
Driving at night
Driving in reduced natural light and at night also requires caution. At night, visual acuity may be reduced by up to 70%. Studies show that many drivers avoid driving at night because of the discomfort they experience. At dawn and when the sun is setting, many drivers are also greatly bothered by the changing light. If you too don't feel confident enough in such conditions, consider other possible options.
