Explanation
When driving at night on a poorly lit road, slow down and increase your following distance. Night driving is more dangerous because visibility is reduced, making it harder to see hazards such as other vehicles, pedestrians, or animals. Always drive at a speed that allows you to stop safely within the distance illuminated by your headlights. Stay alert and watch for unexpected obstacles both on the road and along its edges.
