Sometimes you must need to drive during the night. And we are my friend always keen to give you tips for driving, whether at night or during the day, in order to stay safe and drive with caution in all cases. Here are some tips for night driving to avoid some accidents that may be unexpected. Taking a break at night, making sure your lamps are working, and so on, are things you do that help you avoid danger, but there's more.
Slow down while driving
Drive with caution and slowness, slow down while driving. You may think that the roads at night are empty, which causes you to increase your speed, which is one of the common driving mistakes. But why risk your life and consume more fuel? It was done with caution and legal speed. Maybe because of the difficulty of seeing, something may happen, God forbid, and a dog or a cat may jump in front of you, or a camel may even pass in front of you. Your reaction won't be as fast as it should. This can cause you to have an accident and hit something.
Check that your lamps are working
Make sure that the lamps are all working: brake lights, headlights, rear, signal. If one of the headlights or taillights is broken, the driver facing you on the other side may think you're a motorcycle.
This experience happened to me personally, where I would have collided with the opposite car because I thought it was a bicycle, even if I hadn't noticed it at the last minute and that its lamp on my side was broken. The most important thing is also to make sure that the brake lights are working because it's hard for the driver to know who's behind you when you stop, and they hit you, especially if you stop suddenly.
Turn down the light if you meet a driver
If a car comes from the opposite side, be sure to turn on the front light so as not to distract the driver coming from the opposite side. If the other doesn't do the same, be sure to slow down and stay away from their side until they drive away, so you'll get back to driving normally.
Check the cleanliness of mirrors and glass
Keep your mirrors clean. Some dust or dirt can make the mirror reflection blurred, so you won't know where the drivers behind you are on your left and right and you won't be able to easily determine their distance from you. So keep the mirrors clean so that your mind doesn't stay comfortable and drive safely and securely. Disturbing and blurred vision, but dangerous, is annoying and may strain your nerves.
Avoid driving while you're tired.
Don't drive while you're tired. If your journey is long, set aside time to stop in order to take a break and eat some kind of sugars or have an energy drink in order to stay alert. If your trip is short and you don't have to stop, eat something before you start your journey to avoid wandering and fatigue. Any second inattention can expose you to a horrific accident.
Beware of dangerous turns
In daylight, it's relatively easy to identify the turn because you can see it. But driving at night makes this almost impossible. That's why arrow-shaped road signs are used to help identify turns. The more arrows used, the sharper the turn. If you notice arrows, focus your attention on them and whenever you see an arrow, slow down so you can set the turn.
Look for traffic lights
If you're driving on a road you know well, you're bound to know all the traffic lights, memorize the legal speed, and driving on that road will be easy. But if you're driving on a new route, be sure to look for traffic lights to determine what kind of driving you need to stick to while walking. For example, maybe you moved from a public road to a neighborhood and you have to slow down or maybe you have to turn around...
Keep a safe distance between you and others
Perhaps the one in front of you suddenly used the brakes and you were close to him. You will then inevitably clash with each other. It would be even more dangerous if you were on the highway, because of the difficulty of seeing and the inability to concentrate as in driving during the day. So try to stay away from the one in front of you until you give yourself time to restrain and react. You can do this by adhering to the rule of the two, i.e. keeping a distance like that between the light poles on the road.
Always check your mirrors
You should always check them, day and night. But be sure to check them at night about every three minutes to stay alert and alert if a car is driving near you, trying to get past you, or otherwise...
Choose a lit route
Always choose a road full of light. Lighting your car alone doesn't do enough to be able to focus properly on the road. Lighting helps you drive comfortably and safer. Also, don't forget that driving in a lighted place is safer in terms of being stolen. Your country may be very safe, but no one can know what might happen on a road where few people pass.
