NIGHT DRIVING Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. Drive within the range of your headlights. Dip your lights— For oncoming traffic. For a pointsman. When following another vehicle. When street lighting gives you good visibility. When you stop. Do not drive with only sidelights or dimmed lights. Great care is necessary in poor weather. Dust and film cut down visibility. Keep your windscreen and headlamps clean. A piece of newspaper makes a good cleaner. Stop and rest if you are sleepy. You can help prevent drowsiness by driving with at least one window open. Tinted glasses cut down your vision. Unless prescribed by an optician or eye specialist, they should not be worn at night. At dusk, put your lights on early. It will make it easier for other drivers to see you. Blinding another driver by the glare of your lights is inconsiderate and dangerous. If you are dazzled, slow down. If you cannot see, stop. When you pass approaching vehicles, watch the left-hand side of the road and keep well to the left. Avoid looking into the oncoming lights. Watch for pedestrians and cyclists on the road at night. They often run risks because they do not realise that drivers cannot see them. SLOW DOWN AT NIGHT
