Service and Safety Tips

The number of people killed in traffic accidents is three times higher at night than during the day and 90% of a driver's reaction depends on vision, and vision is severely limited at night.

To avoid blinding other drivers, dim your high beam headlights when you are 150 meters from meeting or following a vehicle. Here are some other simple steps you can follow to improve your vision while driving at night:

  • Prepare your vehicle for night driving by cleaning your headlights, taillights, signals and windows, even a thin layer of road grime on the lens can block up to 90% of the light and restrict your ability to see at night.
  • Make sure your headlights are aligned properly.
  • Reduce your speed and increase your following distance.
  • Keep your eyes moving and focused at all times.
  • Scan carefully for pedestrians, cyclists, animals and wildlife.
  • Adjust your rear view mirror for night driving.
  • Keep your interior lights off and instrument panel lights low.
  • Most important... "SLOW DOWN"!
