Long summer days are already long gone in the past. Autumn season, a dangerous driver not only vague and slippery roads, but the quick twilight came into its own. To prepare for it would cost in advance — but what to do, night road can surprise everyone.
Many factors affect the driver's ability to drive at night. Peripheral eyesight is getting worse, eyes get tired more than usual, and the concentration falls.
This little guide is intended simply to remind even the most experienced drivers how to behave on the road, not to get into trouble.
Dashboard
Keep the dashboard lights dim maximum. Even the light inside the light can distract you from the road and will not let the eyes adjust to the darkness behind. Also, try to protect your eyes from the headlights of oncoming cars: it is clear that the most appropriate people their lights dimmed, but there is a small percentage of those who are putting the safety of other people in a penny.
Overtaking moving into the oncoming lane
Night oncoming traffic is clearly visible, but to diminish the danger of overtaking would be a mistake. Overtaking another vehicle, remove the high beam over 200 meters from it, check the rear-view mirror, turn on a left turn and put on speed. Only equaling the cockpit to overtake the car go to the high beam and turn to his side of the track.
Scanning the road
Monitor the condition of the eyes. Please note that they are not focused at one spot constantly scan all the space of the road. Will have to consciously overpower the inner urge to focus on a single stretch of highway, because the eyes become dry and get tired faster.
Trucks
Remember that freight cars in the night represent a considerable danger. The fact that the tail lights of the truck does not always correspond to their true size. In addition, the body may hang around some a long beam, which the driver did not bother to mark.
