Adjust
your
inside
rearview mirror to reduce the glare
from
headlamps
behind you.
Since you can‘t see
as
well, you may need to slow
down
and keep more
space between
you
and other vehicles.
Slow
down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlamps can
light up only
so
much road ahead.
In
remote areas, watch
for
animals.
If
you’re tired, pull off the road
in
a
safe place
and
rest.
Night
Vision
No
one
can see as well
at
night
as
in
the daytime. But as
we
get older
these differences increase. A 50-year-old driver may require at least twice
as
much light
to
see
the
same
thing at night as
a
20-year-old.
What
you
do
in
the daytime can
also
affect your night
vision.
For
example,
if
you
spend
the
day
in
bright sunshine you are
wise
to wear sunglasses.
Your eyes
will
have less trouble adjusting
to
night. But
if
you’re driving,
don’t
wear sunglasses at night.
They
may cut down
on
glare
from
headlamps, but they also make a lot
of
things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded
bv
approaching
lights.
It
can
take
a
second or
two,
or even several seconds, for
your
eves
to
readjust to the
dark. When
YOU
are faced
with
severe glare (as
frim
a driver
who
doesn’t
lower the
high
beams,
or
a vehicle
with
misaimed headlamps),
slow
down
a
little. Avoid staring directly into the approaching lights.
Keep
your
windshield and all the glass
on
your vehicle clean
--
inside and
out. Glare at night is made much worse
by
dirt
on
the glass.
Even
the
inside
of
the glass can build up
a
film
caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights
dazzle and flash more than clean glass would, making the pupils
of
your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up far
less
of
a roadway when
you
are
in
a
turn or curve.
Keep
your eyes moving; that way, it’s easier
to
pick
out dimly lighted objects. Just as
your
headlamps should be checked
regularly for proper aim,
so
should
your
eyes be examined regularly.
Some drivers suffer
from
night blindness
--
the inability to see
in
dim
light
--
and aren’t even aware
of
it.
