subject: Safe driving in the dark from South Carolina Honda [print this page] Soon the days will be getting shorter which means more people will be traveling in the dark. Getting to and from school and work becomes more challenging when daylight hours wane, therefore drivers are reminded to take special care when driving before sunrise and after sunset. South Carolina Honda dealers provide the following tips to help increase safety when driving in the dark.
Make it easy to see and be seen- The biggest problem with nighttime driving is dealing with reduced visibility. For this reason drivers are reminded that any actions to improve visibility will increase safety. The lights and windows on your vehicle should be clean and in good working order. If your vehicle does not have daytime lights, remember to turn your lights on during twilight hours when you may not necessarily need the light to see but other drivers need help seeing you.
Pay attention to high beams- You may be tempted to flash your high beams at other drivers who are blinding you with their inconsideration. Unfortunately this practice only serves to blind two drives approaching each other, therefore you should avoid doing so. Being a courteous driver can actually save lives and you never know when someone else might be having problems that might make it impossible to lower their beams.
Adjust lights- Have your Greenville Honda dealer check your headlight alignment during the next scheduled maintenance appointment. This will improve your nighttime visibility and ensure you are not blinding approaching drivers. Try to reduce glare from inside your vehicle by dimming your interior lights.
