You
can be temporarily blinded by approaching lights.
It
can take a second or two, or even several seconds, for
your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are fixed
with severe glare
(as
from 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.
Driving
in the
Rain
Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet
road you can’t stop, accelerate or turn as well because
your tire-to-road traction
isn’t
as
good
as on dry roads.
And,
if
your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll get
even less traction. It’s always wise to go slower and be
cautious
if
rain starts to
fall
while you are driving. The
surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes are
tuned for driving on dry pavement.
