When driving at night, in fog, or at dusk, our eyes tire more quickly. Insufficient lighting or, on the contrary, too much lighting, requires additional effort from our eyesight.
NIGHT DRIVING: WHAT ARE THE DANGERS?
The risk of fatal accidents at night is 7 times higher than during the day, even though traffic is lighter.
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 diurnal animals, they are naturally more tired at night.
- Alcohol consumption is also more frequent in the evening, and intoxicated people unfortunately drive more often at night...
- The lack of light and contrast or, conversely, the glare caused by road signs and the headlights of other drivers.
TIPS FOR SAFE NIGHT DRIVING
To limit the risks during night journeys, it is necessary to adopt the following actions:
- Get plenty of rest before hitting the road.
- Use the appropriate lights (dipped headlights, main beam headlights, etc.).
- Wear suitable night driving glasses.
