Tips for driving in the dark
A higher proportion of fatal road accidents occur between 6pm and 6am and driving in these hours brings about a new set of challenges for motorists. Here are our tips for driving safely at night.
Check your lights regularly
Clean covers with damp non-abrasive cloth if dirty.
Keep your windscreen, mirrors and windows clean
Using newspaper to wipe glass surfaces can remove smears and marks that impair visibility at night. Also make sure you are familiar with your car’s aircon/heater controls to keep your windows from misting up in the cold winter temperatures. An in-car dehumidifier can also help avoid misty windows.
Have your eyes tested regularly
Always remember your glasses if you need them.
Keep cabin lights in the car very low
(or off completely) and keep gadgets like satnavs set to a dark screen mode so your forward vision is not affected.
Stay sober, alert and refreshed
Remain aware of unexpected hazards such as badly-lit cyclists, pedestrians, drunk drivers & wild animals. If you feel sleepy, take a break and grab a caffeinated drink and some fresh air to perk you up.
If you are dazzled by the lights of an oncoming car, don’t panic
Look to the road markings for guidance if possible. Likewise, avoid dazzling oncoming motorists with your full beams. Study the road ahead of you for signs of approaching cars and dip your headlights accordingly.
