What should be paid attention to when reversing at night?
1 Answers
When reversing at night, you need to pay attention to: 1. First, carefully observe the parking position and mentally simulate an exit route map. At night, the visibility is poor in all directions, and even with full concentration, many obstacles may not be visible. Therefore, it is essential to walk around the car to identify all potential collision points; 2. All interior lights should be turned off. When the interior brightness is too high, the car windows act not as transmitters but as reflectors of interior light, which significantly impacts driving safety; 3. The illumination of the reversing lights is limited. Make full use of the brightness of the brake lights. Many cars only have one reversing light, which provides limited illumination. The lighting effect from inside the car is also limited. Therefore, you should utilize the lighting capability of the brake lights. The deeper you press the brake pedal, the stronger the lighting capability. If you are unsure about obstacles behind you, pressing the brake pedal deeper can be very helpful.
