What are the main impacts of nighttime road conditions on safe driving?

[DiRiver]

The main impact of nighttime road conditions on safe driving is reduced visibility, which makes it difficult to observe road traffic conditions. At night, drivers' vision is significantly impaired. On unlit road sections, drivers' vision is generally affected, making it hard to see objects ahead clearly or to accurately judge their distance. Key precautions for highway driving include: 1. Both the driver and front-seat passengers must fasten their seat belts, and the driver should not use a mobile phone while driving; 2. Avoid making sudden steering wheel movements at high speeds; 3. Do not change lanes arbitrarily—when changing lanes or overtaking, always use the turn signal in advance; 4. Only use adjacent lanes for overtaking, and immediately return to the original lane after overtaking—do not straddle or drive on lane dividers; 5. Do not reverse, drive against traffic, make U-turns or turns across the central divider, conduct test drives, or drive training vehicles—also avoid overtaking or parking on ramps; 6. Maintain a following distance of at least 100 meters—when driving below 100 km/h, the distance can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance must not be less than 50 meters.
