When we drive at night, in foggy weather or between dogs and wolves , our eyes tire more quickly. Insufficient lighting or, on the contrary, too much lighting requires additional effort for our eyesight .
DRIVING AT NIGHT: WHAT DANGERS?
The risk of a fatal accident at night is 7x higher than during the day even though traffic is less dense
At night, fatal accidents are more frequent than during the day. When driving at night, we are seven times more likely to have a fatal accident than during the day (source: securite-routiere.gouv.fr )! Indeed, there are several factors that explain this:
- Humans being a diurnal animal, they are naturally more tired at night.
- Alcohol consumption is also more frequent in the evening and people who are drunk unfortunately drive more often at night...
- The lack of brightness and the lack of contrast or, on the contrary, the glare caused by the signals and the headlights of other drivers.
TIPS FOR SAFE NIGHT DRIVING
To limit the risks during nighttime journeys, it is necessary to adopt the following actions :
- Rest well before hitting the road.
