Maintain a calm and fearless attitude and avoid panicking while driving at night. You would have reached the halfway point of the journey if you had no fear and followed the rules of the road.
We have witnessed novice drivers who, when in a panic, apply the brakes more forcefully, shake the gear lever to determine which gear they are in, or click the viper blades or hear the indicators start to move.
Maintain a spotless windshield. To avoid the nighttime driving glare, remove any stains, dried drops, smudges, finger prints, dust, or greasy materials. To begin, remove the dust from the vipers by lifting them from the bonnet with your hand.
Then, pour enough water over the windshield to allow it to drain. Now, squeeze the detergents that are kept under the hood with your viper gear to clean the windshield. If you follow these steps, you’ll be able to see clearly while driving and keep your sunglasses from getting lightly scratched.
If you use the viper as directed to clean the windshield, you run the risk of scratching your windshield for the rest of your life by scrubbing the dirt and mud that has built up around the blades.
GLARY NIGHT VISION AT NIGHT DRIVING
Car drivers, particularly novice to moderately skilled drivers, should exercise greater caution at night than during the day. Due to the glare of the opposing vehicle’s vision, which blinds them for a few milliseconds when passing by, driving at night appears to be a frightening experience for many drivers. Keep in mind that driving at night poses the greatest threat due to glare vision.
During the exact crossing time of the opposite vehicle, focus on the road space required for your car’s lively movement rather than the light beams of the other vehicle. Don’t cross if you’re not sure about the road, but be ready to apply the brakes if necessary, especially if you’re traveling on a road that you’ve already dealt with some bumps and damage.
LOW/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Make prudent use of your high beam and low beam indicators. When driving at night, only use your high beams when there are no cars on the opposite side. You can actually find potholes, humps, broken ridges, and damaged roads at a distance with a shadowed vision by switching from low to high beam for a while.
To make your nearby road visible while passing the opposite vehicle on the same road, lower the high beam to low level. On the other hand, this tells the driver of the vehicle in front of you to do the same so that both of you can see better in low beam (some drivers don’t do this, so you don’t have to worry about it). Try to keep your low beam on if you keep seeing other cars coming from the opposite direction. The other driver will be able to see clearly without your high beam thanks to this.
KEEP YOUR VISION LONG
Keep your vision long, covering nearly the entire length of your road. Attempt to comprehend this. When driving at night, try to keep your eyes on the same places even as your car’s headlamps look for new roads. In fact, this will enable us to have more time to react to road anomalies like speed bumps, potholes, and other hazards.
PARKING LIGHT FOR ROUGH ROADS
Roads always have patches and damage that can cause small to large vehicle damages. In some bad situations, a neat, smooth road abruptly ends and remains a bad road with pits and hard rocks. This occurs frequently while driving at night, making the vehicle more susceptible to damage, particularly when traveling at constant high speed.
Since the vehicles that are following you don’t expect you to slow down right away in such a situation, you might end up damaging your vehicle. If this is the case, switching on your parking light with one hand can help drivers coming up behind you slow down so they don’t hit your car in the back.
I’ve tried this numerous times and felt safe.
Particularly when leading on a road with three or four vehicles following you at a constant speed, they wouldn’t expect you to stop or slow down suddenly in the middle of the road. Running your car on damaged roads is sometimes preferable to being hit by vehicles coming from behind you.
If you want your car to come to a safe stop in these situations, slow down from 100 kilometers per hour to 60 to 50 kilometers per hour, release the brake, and re-press the brake pedal very slowly. When emergency braking, signal to your passengers so as not to hurt your fellow passengers.
SLEEPY DRIVERS
We need to get rid of sleepy drivers because they are a real danger on both daytime and nighttime roads. However, due to less traffic and the ideal time to sleep, particularly for those who are tired of driving long distances, the vulnerability is typically greater at night. Even research has been conducted on the subject, and it has been discovered that tired drivers sleep for six to ten seconds at a time without their knowledge.
Using a short horn when overtaking, especially for long vehicles like buses, trucks, and so on, would provide you with additional safety. If you press the horn twice, the truck driver will notice you and your activities.
OVERTAKE WITH THE WINDSHIELD OF ANOTHER CAR
Occasionally, we observe a swarm of vehicles attempting to overtake long or heavy vehicles. You might have to drive slowly for a while to stay in the flock in such circumstances because of the possibility of crossing paths with other people.
Later, the group disperses as vehicles advance, passing each other. In such situations, we might continue to drive in the same lane while one or two other vehicles traveling in the same lane would shift to the other lane to overtake us.
