Does the Visibility Distance of Drivers Shorten at Night?

[Olive]

Visibility distance for drivers does shorten at night, so extra caution is required. Factors contributing to reduced visibility distance: During nighttime driving, due to vehicle limitations, environmental conditions, and human physiological characteristics, drivers experience deteriorated vision, shortened visibility distance, and narrowed field of view. Additionally, drivers' observation and judgment abilities are impaired, making nighttime a peak period for traffic accidents. Precautions for nighttime driving: Always turn on headlights when driving at night; maintain greater following distance than daytime driving to ensure sufficient safety margin; avoid overtaking whenever possible; slow down when approaching intersections.
