Suggestions
Keep your windshield and all the glass
on
your vehicle clean-inside and out.
Glare at night is made much wow
by
dirt
on
the glass. Even the inside of the
glass can build up a
film
caused
by
dust.
Tobacco smoke
also
makes inside glass
surfaces very filmy
and
can
be
a vision
hazard
if
it’s left there.
Dirty
glass makes lights dazzle and
flash more than clean glass would,
making the pupils of your eyes contract
repeatedly. You might even want to keep
a cloth and some glass cleaner in your
vehicle if you need
to
clean your glass
frequently.
Remember that your headlights light up
hr
less of a roadway when
you
are
in
a
turn
or
curve.
Keep your eyes moving; that way, it’s
easier to pick out dimly lighted
objects.
Just as your headlights should be
checked regularly for proper
aim,
so
should your eyes be examined regularly.
Some drivers suffer from night
blindness-the inability
to
see
in
dim
light-and aren’t even aware of it.
Driving
in
the
Rain
Rain and
wet
roads
can
mean
driving
trouble.
On
a
wet road you can’t
stop,
accelerate or
turn
as
well because your
tire-to-road traction isn’t as good
as
on
dry roads. And,
if
your tires don’t
have
much tread left, you’ll get even less
traction.
It’s always wise
to
go slower
and
be
cautious if
rain
starts
to
M1
while
you
are driving. The surface
may
get wet
suddenly when your reflexes
are
tuned
for driving on dry pavement.
The heavier the rain, the harder it
is
to
see. Even if
your
windshield wiper
blades are
in
good
shape, a
heavy
rain
can rnake it harder to
see
road signs and
traffic signals, pavement
markings,
the
edge of the road, and even people
