Driving at night can be challenging for obvious reasons, which is exactly why our team here at Certified has put together a list of important tips to remember for when the sun goes down. Our depth perception and peripheral vision do not perform as well in low-light conditions, and headlights can only do so much. Put these tips into action next time you\u2019re driving at night to stay safer behind the wheel.<\/p>\n
Some would argue that the worse part about driving at night is other driver\u2019s oncoming headlights. It\u2019s important to continually remind yourself not to look directly into oncoming traffic. That may seem obvious, but our attention naturally turns to the light so you\u2019ll need to practice keeping your eyes straight ahead when traffic is passing by.<\/p>\n
With just your headlights on, you\u2019ll be able to see about 250 feet ahead in the dark. When you turn your high-beams on, that distances doubles. However, when you\u2019re going 60 mph it usually takes around 200 feet to stop. This means your reaction time has to be even sharper at night to avoid an accident.<\/p>\n
Nowadays vehicles are always designed in a way that works to keep everyone safe. That\u2019s why most models are set with standard daytime running lights and LED lighting to ensure the best possible visibility at all times. Drivers interested in learning more about which lights are offered on specific vehicles are encouraged to contact our team here at Certified Autoplex<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
