The Simpler And Safer Way To Drive At Night

Compared to driving during the day, driving at night poses a greater challenge to drivers. Even if there is less traffic at night, the probability of encountering danger is higher.

Firstly, at night, human vision is too poor to predict whether something that cannot be seen clearly on the ground is dangerous, and it is also difficult to predict the people or cars rushing out at the intersection ahead. Secondly, if encountering a high beam dog and being chased by it all the way, the eyes cannot see clearly. Driving at night is more prone to fatigue, and it is possible to doze off and lose focus if not careful.

But sometimes it's unavoidable for us to drive at night. At this time, mastering several methods can make it easier and safer for you to drive at night.

1. Keep warning signs, emergency lights, and other necessary tools in the car as a precautionary measure. Of course, these essential tools also need to be kept on the car regularly.

2. Before preparing for nighttime travel, it is necessary to have sufficient sleep to ensure that you are energetic when driving at night. Having abundant energy can better deal with sudden situations at night and maximize the ability to predict danger while driving. If the driver has been driving for a long time and is really tired, it is recommended to find a place to rest at the next highway intersection. Besides, according to traffic regulations, there is a 20 minute break every four hours.

3. On rural roads and national highways at night, the probability of encountering high beam dogs head-on is still high. If the other party has not turned off the high beam lights, use car light language and honk the horn to remind them to turn it off. If the other party still hasn't turned off, everyone should turn on the high beam lights to attack them. There is also a situation where when the following car is a high beam dog, it is difficult to remind the following vehicle to turn off, and preventive measures can only be taken in advance. One is to wear night vision mirrors, which reduce the intensity of light entering the eyes but also reduce the visibility of light entering. Driving in the dark poses immeasurable traffic hazards. The best way to avoid high beam dogs in the rear is to install automatic anti glare rearview mirrors. When strong light is shining, the lenses will automatically dim. When there is no strong light, the lenses will be the same as normal lenses and will not affect the driver's field of view. Car, this is not only driving etiquette, but also for the sake of driving safety. Be sure to turn on the high beams when you can't see clearly in the distance. It is also necessary to alternate high and low beams.

4. Reasonably use car lighting, such as when there are many vehicles in the city or when following a car, it is necessary to choose low beam headlights to avoid high beam headlights affecting the driver of the other vehicle. What should I do when my line of sight is dim without any streetlights? At this time, the high beams are also on. Don't be afraid that turning on the high beams will affect the driver of the oncoming vehicle. When you see the oncoming vehicle from 150 meters away, turn off the high beams in a timely manner and slow down.

5. At night, it is the peak period for large vehicles to appear, with a large number of vehicles and fast speeds. The blind spots of large vehicles are directly proportional to their vehicle models, and the hazards of blind spots are well-known. Once a large car accident occurs, the small cars involved will also be affected. So at any time, drivers must avoid driving near large vehicles for long periods of time, and promptly overtake them while ensuring safety, such as when the visibility is open and the lighting conditions are good

6. Overtaking at night, keep a safe distance from other vehicles and make sure to turn the turn signal in advance. Not only should the vehicles behind you know that you are overtaking, but also the vehicles in front of you should know. Of course, when driving at night, if you can follow the car, follow the car as much as possible. Unless in an emergency, it is still necessary to avoid overtaking as much as possible.

7. It's raining and at night, and the difficulty is not just a little bit high. At this time, unless absolutely necessary, it's best to drive as little as possible. Of course, if you need to drive, there are still auxiliary functions to help the driver. It is important to note that when changing lanes in rain and at night, it is impossible to observe the vehicle behind through the blurry rearview mirror, and the blind spot of the car cannot be avoided. In addition, the two debuffs of rain at night are also necessary. How to solve the problem of the rising risk of traffic accidents? Install a blind spot monitoring system (lane merging assistance system), regardless of rain, snow, or hail, the radar is installed on both sides of the rear bumper, completely unaffected by adverse weather conditions. As long as there is a vehicle in the blind spot behind, it can remind the driver through rearview mirror markings.

8. The rhyme you must know when driving at night is: "When driving in gray, don't walk in white. When encountering black, stop." Gray represents normal road conditions, while white represents water and reflection. Drivers need to avoid driving as much as possible, while black represents bumpy road ahead. In this case, it is necessary to predict in advance, and avoid detours if possible. The driver's early prediction of the road conditions is very important, and emergency measures such as braking should be prepared at all times when driving at night.

At night, the driver's vision decreases and their reaction ability is slower than during the day. So the speed of driving at night should not be too fast. It is necessary to control the speed, distance the vehicle from each other, and be ready to brake at any time. Whether it's automatic electronic anti glare rearview mirrors or blind spot monitoring systems, if you don't have them in your car, try to arrange for installation. Whether it is in complex urban traffic with a large number of vehicles or when the blind spots are wider and the vision is blurry at night, it always provides drivers with heartwarming reminders and assistance. By mastering these methods at night, the driver's sense of safety soars and passengers on board feel more at ease.
