Tips for driving at night: 1. It is necessary to control the speed reasonably, use the car lights flexibly and appropriately, maintain a proper following distance from the vehicle ahead, and avoid frequent overtaking when visibility is not as good at night; 2. When driving on the highway at night, high beams should be used because highways are not equipped with street lights, and vehicles on highways travel at high speeds. Some drivers may not react in time to emergencies. High beams provide strong light, which helps drivers react promptly. Highways have median barriers, so there is no direct contact with oncoming vehicles, eliminating the need to worry too much about them. Moreover, using high beams helps drivers better observe the condition of vehicles ahead. Night driving can be tiring, so when driving on highways at night, the speed should not be too fast, but it should also not be lower than 80 kilometers per hour.
I frequently travel with my family at night, and safety is absolutely the top priority. First, ensure the car headlights are clean and bright, and switch to low-beam mode in advance to avoid dazzling other drivers. Dim the interior lights a bit to reduce window reflections that interfere with visibility; if tired, pull over for a 20-minute nap—fatigued driving is too risky. Maintain a longer following distance than during the day, as poor nighttime visibility leads to more judgment errors. Keep the kids from making noise in the back seat to minimize distractions. Deer are common on rural roads, so scan the shaded roadside areas frequently. Regularly check headlights and wipers, especially in winter. These habits have kept me driving safely for years, avoiding many potential hazards.
