Night time driving
EXAMPLE

1) Drive at lower speeds during the night
than in the daytime, as the visual range
is restricted at night.
2) Avoid overtaking other vehicles at night.
Darkness bothers your sense of speed
and hinders your judgment of vehicle-
to-vehicle distance.

3) Don't use headlights on high beam
unless its use is inevitable. It may
cause visual impairment to the driver of

accident.
4) Always keep the window glasses clean.
Don't operate the windshield wiper
when the windshield glass is dry else
the wiper blade and glass may get
damaged.
