Adjust your routine for darkness and reduced visibility. These practical checkpoints are intended to help you make informed decisions while prioritizing safety.

Keep the glass and lights clean

Dirty windshields can magnify glare. Ensure lamps are operational and properly aimed.

Reduce speed where visibility is limited

Drive at a speed that allows you to stop within the area illuminated ahead, accounting for conditions.

Avoid staring at bright headlights

Look toward the right edge of your lane briefly when facing glare while staying aware of surrounding traffic.

Respect fatigue

If you are fighting sleep, pull off at a safe place to rest rather than trying to push through.

Keep in mind: Road rules, vehicle specifications, insurance terms, and driving conditions vary. Follow posted signs, your vehicle owner's manual, and applicable local regulations. Seek a qualified professional when safety or repairs are in question.
