Explanation
When driving at night, reduced visibility makes it harder to spot hazards in time. Always drive at a safe speed and adjust it so you can stop within the distance illuminated by your headlights - this is called not “overdriving your headlights.” Increase your following distance to give yourself more time to react. Dim your high beams when approaching or following another vehicle, and avoid looking directly at oncoming headlights to reduce glare. Never assume the road is clear - be prepared to stop for pedestrians, animals, or unexpected obstacles at any time.
