Tips for Driving at Night
- Night driving is more difficult than day driving because it is harder to see in darkness. Use more caution when driving at night, and allow more time and distance to allow for stopping.
- Know where all the features necessary to drive at night are located in your vehicle, such as how to turn on the headlights, the high beams, and the wiper blades.
- In urban areas with street lights, headlights will give you illumination to see the road in front of you. In areas that are rural, use the high beams to see the road. Be sure to switch back to regular headlights when you see a vehicle approaching so you don’t blind the other driver. Do not use high beams when you are behind another vehicle.
- Slow down and pay attention to the roadway, as sometimes pets or wild animals such as deer and coyotes will dart out in front of your vehicle.
- Be aware of what other drivers are doing, especially at night, as drivers who are driving under the influence can be more likely at night. Give other drivers space, and if you see someone driving erratically, pull over and call for help.
- Focus on your driving, especially at night. Don’t look at your cell phone or give your attention to the radio or other devices in your car.
- Pay attention to how you are feeling. Darkness can make people drowsy, and you might not notice if you start to fall asleep. Pull over in a safe place if you find that you cannot stay awake.
- Make a plan before you go out. If you are going to drink, have a designated driver who is sober. Even if you are not drinking, know your capabilities, and if you are able to drive at night because of reduced visibility and your susceptibility to fatigue. It is sometimes easy to forget that how you feel at the beginning of an evening will be different from how you feel at the end of an evening, and in the early morning hours. If you find you cannot drive after a late night, don’t try. Make other arrangements to stay somewhere or have someone else drive.
