Good morning everyone, we would like to start today off with a great tip from one of our Cartrack followers - Rehana Seedat has some great advice when it comes to night time driving, have a read: “Before you hit the road, check that all exterior lights work properly (front and rear, brake lights and high beams), and ensure your windows and headlights are clean (inside and outside). Dirty windows can add to glare and impair vision, making it more difficult to see; dirty headlights can greatly reduce efficiency. Adjust your rear-view mirror to avoid the reflection of other vehicles’ headlights – most cars have ‘day/night’ rear-view mirrors that can be tilted easily to reduce the glare. Avoid using your vehicle’s interior light while driving – if you need to check the map, safely pull over to the side of the road first. Keep your eyes moving. Watch for flashes of light - at the top of hills, at road bends and intersections - that may indicate the headlights of other cars. Increase your crash avoidance space to make it easier to spot potential hazards and give you more time to respond. Nighttime driving requires lots of concentration, which can be tiring. To prevent fatigue, take frequent breaks to give your eyes a chance to recover”.
