1. Improper use of main and dipped beam

Less experienced drivers do not know how and when to switch main and dipped beam. And that’s crucial in night driving. You have to adjust properly the height and direction of the headlights, but not so,to dazzling other drivers. Use high beams in outside urban, when the visibility is low without blinding oncoming or moving vehicles in front of you.

2. Exceeding the speed

High speed at night is typical of many drivers. The main reason is that the traffic is low. But it can be very dangerous as night driving hiding a lot of insecurities. The city is dangerous, because in the dark there are pedestrians crossing very wrong and wearing dark clothing. And out of town if you drive at high speed, you may not notice an animal which crossing the roadway. Try to drive at reasonable speeds and pay attention of the road conditions.
