Late-night driving tips for your safety

By Rishabh Raj

1

Ensure lighting is adequate

Ensure your car's headlights provide sufficient illumination. For cars with halogen bulbs, consider using more powerful ones. Invest in fog lamps to enhance visibility.

2

Watch out for non-functional headlights

Be extra cautious and maintain a safe distance from any vehicle ahead which have only one headlight functioning. Watch out for bullock carts and cyclists too.

3

Drive defensively

The chances of collisions with cyclists or pedestrians are high at night. Slow down, use hazard lights, and use high beams responsibly, without hindering other drivers' visibility.

4

Stay hydrated

Nighttime driving can make you feel drowsy. Turn off the AC and open the windows for fresh air. If needed, make a brief stop for a caffeinated drink or water

5

Avoid looking directly at headlights

When you spot a car coming at you, resist the urge to stare into its headlights. By doing so, you will prevent any blinding glare and be able to drive safely.
