Due to poor line of sight, fast speed and other reasons, it is easy to cause traffic accidents, so the driver should combine the actual driving at night, grasp the key points of safe driving, and ensure the safety of driving at night. To sum up, safe driving at night mainly has the following "8 points of attention".
1. Pay attention to maintaining the distance between the vehicles. Due to the poor line of sight at night, the driver cannot see the road conditions at a glance, coupled with the fact that there are more unexpected situations at night, it is very easy to cause traffic accidents, so the driver tries to increase the distance as much as possible under the premise of maintaining concentration and properly handling traffic conditions to prevent accidents.
2, pay attention not to speed. Driving at night, a prominent feature is the scarcity of people and cars, drivers are in a hurry to rush the road, often "fast horse and whip" blind speeding, once encountered emergency caught off guard easy to cause accidents. Therefore, the driver should have a full understanding of the dangers of speeding at night, no matter in any case, must control the speed of the car, so as not to cause accidents.
3. Pay attention to the safety of the car. Driving at night, turn off the high beam when it is 150 meters away from the opposite car, switch to low beam or small lights, try to keep your sight away from the bright light of the high beam of the opposite car, in order to reduce the sense of glare, and pay attention to avoid pedestrians and bicycles on the side of the road.
4. Pay attention to the people crossing the road on the left. In the busy part of the city's roads, sometimes the opposite lane is lined with vehicles waiting for red lights, in this case, pedestrians often run out of the cracks and cross the road, which is more difficult for drivers to find at night, which is easy to lead to traffic accidents.
5, pay attention not to fatigue driving. Driving at night, especially after midnight, is prone to fatigue and drowsiness. At the same time, because the night driving can not see the landscape on both sides of the highway, the road has less stimulants to the driver's excitement, which makes the driver tired. If you feel tired, you should stop and rest, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
6. Be careful not to encroach on the other party's driving route. The visible distance of the night driver to the road ahead is short, and if the curves, ramps and mountain roads encroach on each other's driving routes, it will be difficult to deal with emergencies in time, which can easily cause traffic accidents.
7. Pay attention to overtaking cautiously. The road conditions at night are complex, the line of sight is poor at night, and the judgment of the road conditions is not accurate, so the danger of overtaking at night increases. When it is really necessary to overtake, it is necessary to turn the turn signal in advance, constantly change the long and near lights, etc., carefully observe the opposite situation, confirm the safety, safely overtake the front car, and then drive back to the original lane.
8. Pay attention to traffic signs. Driving at night, especially on complex roads such as mountainous areas, we must pay attention to observing traffic signs, especially warning signs, pay attention to identifying complex road conditions such as steep slopes, sharp bends, narrow roads, narrow bridges and other complex road surface conditions according to the sign prompts, and take measures such as deceleration, braking, and changing gears in advance according to the road conditions to prevent blind high-speed driving, resulting in improper handling and causing accidents.
