Tips For Driving At Night

Dim your interior lights
Driving with the dash lights on maximum can make it more difficult for you to see. Every car comes with a dashboard dimmer. Keeping your lights at a minimum reduces glare.

Adjust your exterior mirrors
Keeping your exterior mirrors aimed downward slightly means you can see behind you while keeping car’s headlights out of your eyes. This is especially helpful if the car behind you had their high beams on.

Keep your windshield clean
Dust and grime can accumulate on the inside of your windshield without you even noticing it. Keeping your windshield clean lessens the harmful glare from the headlights of oncoming cars.

Use high beams whenever possible
Your high beams should be used whenever possible, especially if you’re not experiencing bad weather (use of high beams is not advisable while driving in heavy fog or other adverse conditions). Make sure you dim your lights for oncoming traffic as you can impede vision of an oncoming driver.

Look away from lights
When a car is driving towards look towards the right side of the road and use your peripheral vision to drive. Do not look directly into the oncoming headlight as the bright light can weaken your night vision, even after the car has passed.
