Explanation
Driving at night is more dangerous because visibility is greatly reduced compared to daytime conditions. Darkness makes it harder to see road hazards and other vehicles. This limited visibility affects your ability to spot potential dangers in time and react appropriately to avoid them. Always drive slower at night and adjust your speed so you can stop safely within the distance you can see ahead.
