Many, especially beginner drivers, are confident that driving a car at night is easier than during the day. Despite the fact that the stream of cars is less, and pedestrians are practically absent, about 50% of the accident at night at night. The most important condition for night ride is the movement according to the rules, compliance with the speed regime and mutual politeness of drivers. Watches of practical driving in driving schools are not enough to teach newcomers to the correct driving car at night. So that night driving is most secure, you need to follow some rules.
1
Night ride is dangerous for many reasons. The main number of people in the night wants to sleep. Conditions of visibility on the road at night are limited. The driving part is lit only with street lamps, which are not lit in some locations, and the headlights of the car. In this regard, the driver's response time is increasing, the eyes are constantly in voltage due to headlights of counter-car.

Before leaving the city at night, you must check all the lighting devices for the subject. Clean headlights, mirrors and glass from contamination. It should be checked if the wipers and the windshield washer work. Check the backlight of the instrument panel. In the trunk must be spare light bulbs for headlights. If the left headlamp failed on the road, it is necessary to remove the light bulb from the right headlight and put on the left.

The driver before the night travel should sleep well. Total to be avoided that the eyes annoying: work on a computer, highly lit rooms, watching TV. Before the trip should not be tightly dinner, because A sense of relaxation may arise that it will not allow to concentrate on the road. In order not to fall asleep at the wheel, you need to follow the vehicle coming in the passing direction. Well, if there are other passengers in the cabin, which should speak loud with the driver. If the driver is one, you need to turn on the music loudly, to chew something, to periodically open the window so that the wind blows the face. Sometimes it is worth stopping and leaving the car to warm up. If it is impossible to fight with a dream, you need to find a parking lot.

The speed of movement must correspond to the length of the brake path until the car is completely lit by the headlights. Often, the lights are installed on cars, the distant light of which is capable of illuminating the road area 100 m forward, so when switching far beam headlights, it is necessary to reduce the speed to 50-60 km / h. Switch the headlights with a neighbor on the far stand, based on the road stop, but do not exceed the speed mode.

The obstacle on the road is much easier to detect the day than at night when it can only be seen in the light of the headlights. Perception is distorted due to lack of light. If there is even a small suspicion that there is an extraneous object, a pit or a car without overall lights and alarms, it is necessary to reduce the speed to the most secure as possible. If people are on the side of the road, they represent a special danger. Children may not be visible due to adults, they can run on the roadway at any time.

When driving at night in the stream of machines, it should be remembered that the driver behind the walking vehicle may not have time to react to braking ahead of the go. This may happen due to the fact that the overall lights included at night, it is difficult to distinguish from stop signals. And at night is not visible, the car slows down or not. Although now almost all cars are equipped with additional stop signals, it is worth increasing the distance to ahead of the car. Road participants should be warned in advance about changing the direction of movement, including the turn signal. If there was a need to stay on the road at night, you should not turn off the overall lights.

To avoid blinding the headlights of the counter car, in no case you can not look at them, and when you have a closure, close one eye, and the other look at the road. One eye will see the road as before, and the second will soon restore its functions. If the driver of the countercard forgot to switch the headlight light, it should be warned about it in advance. The best distance to switch left-beam headlights to the Middle - 150 m. It is necessary to reduce the speed and, driving around with the counter car, torture to the right. By catching up ahead of the traveling vehicle, you can not forget to switch headlights to not blind the driver through the mirrors.
Driving a car at night a very risky lesson. Therefore, you should not go on long trips at night. Neglecting Night Ride Rules can provoke a serious accident.
