What should be paid attention to when driving at night?

When driving at night, you should pay attention to the following: 1. When the distance to the oncoming vehicle is 150 meters, you should switch from high beam to low beam; 2. When driving at night, if the speed is below 30 kilometers per hour, you should use low beam, and under normal circumstances, the light can illuminate more than 30 meters; 3. Be cautious of intersections often encountered during night driving. You can predict the driving situation of the oncoming vehicle based on the light from the side road; 4. Remember to maintain a safe distance when following a vehicle at night. During night driving, be mindful of road obstacles and construction signal lights. When driving through dark areas or where the road condition is not easily discernible, you must slow down.
When driving at night, I prioritize safety. Poor lighting makes it hard to see the road clearly, so I always check if the headlights are working properly before setting off—if the bulbs are old, I replace them immediately. I also clean the windshield to avoid dust reflecting glare. I make sure not to drive while fatigued, stopping by the roadside to rest for a bit after one or two hours, drinking water and stretching. I reduce my speed, especially in urban areas with many pedestrians. I adjust the rearview mirror and use low beams to avoid dazzling others. I keep an emergency kit in the car with items like a flashlight. These small steps help reduce risks and ensure a steady journey home—no need to rush or take risks on night drives.
