World statistics show that in the dark the number of accidents, including fatalities, many more. This is really an ulterior motive, as the driver at night waiting for a lot of dangers.
Driving in the dark as driving in a downpour or in a fog, has its own specificity, it is important to be very careful and vigilant. We suggest you familiarize yourself with a few simple guidelines in order to simplify and secure way.
Avoid trips "into the night". First and foremost, it is important to choose the time for departure on a long journey. Best of all, if at night you can have a rest or sleep enough the day before travel.
Use the headlight adjustment. Watch for a timely switch to the "far" light on "close". Please make sure the headlights illuminate the road immediately, and not the trees.
Clean the windshield. Every time preparing the car for a long trip - wipe the windshield. Keep in mind that the night raid refracts headlights of oncoming vehicles, creating the effect of the nebula. As a result - the visibility is getting worse.
Observe the speed limit. The temptation to be dispersed on an empty motorway is extremely high, but remember that at high speeds difficult to see defects in the road, an animal on the road, an obstacle on the way. What can we say about the dark time of the day when no one can see almost nothing. Your maximum - "cruising speed", or even lower.
Caution - above all else.Be careful on difficult areas, such as, for example, a steep climb. Suddenly, that the highest point can be an oncoming car, which you zaslepit headlights. Also, stay away from careless drivers who break the speed limit or not adjusted headlights.
Do not allow yourself to fall asleep. One of the biggest dangers of the night - drowsiness. In order not to fall asleep, listen to your favorite music, take a companion on the road (which is also not sleep will!), drink green tea are more likely to stop to stretch your legs and enjoy a cup delicious coffee.
