Driving at Night

Ensure that your headlights are adjusted to avoid causing glare for:

  • Vehicles in front of you
  • Oncoming traffic
  • Pedestrians and cyclists

If you’re blinded by the headlights of an approaching vehicle, reduce your speed or come to a complete stop until you regain full visibility. Exercise extreme caution when overtaking at night due to limited visibility and potential bends in the road ahead.

When driving on a motorway, remember to use dipped headlights even if the road is well-lit. If you find yourself broken down and parked on the hard shoulder, switch on your sidelights to increase your visibility for other road users. This precautionary measure helps ensure others can see you clearly.
