Explanation
Driving at night can pose challenges due to reduced visibility. To enhance safety, you should increase your following distance. This means maintaining a greater space between your vehicle and the one ahead. The rationale behind this is twofold. First, it allows you a clearer line of sight, helping you see the road ahead and potential obstacles more effectively. Second, it provides you with the time needed to react and stop safely if the vehicle in front of you comes to a sudden halt.
