Chapter 41: Night Driving
Reduced Reaction Time
Hazards simply become visible later at night, which effectively shortens your available reaction time even if your actual reflexes are unchanged — reduce speed to compensate, especially on unfamiliar roads.
Headlight Etiquette
Keep headlights clean, since road grime measurably reduces their output over time, and dim your high beams for oncoming traffic well before you meet them to avoid blinding the other driver.
