What are the main impacts of nighttime road conditions on safe driving?
1 Answers
Nighttime road conditions primarily affect safe driving by reducing visibility and making it more difficult to observe traffic situations. Here are some precautions for nighttime driving: Speed: Maintain a slow speed when driving at night. The faster the speed, the worse the driver's vision becomes, and the ability to observe the road surface diminishes. In case of sudden incidents, it becomes challenging to react quickly, often leading to unavoidable accidents. Lighting: If the road is well-lit, use low-beam headlights. If the road is very dark or lacks streetlights, switch to high-beam headlights, but remember to switch back to low beams when approaching oncoming vehicles.
