Driving at night and in wet conditions requires extra caution. Here’s how to stay safe.
Night Driving Tips
- Use Headlights Correctly – Always turn on headlights from sunset to sunrise. Use high beams on dark roads but dip them for oncoming traffic.
- Stay Extra Alert – Reduced visibility means it’s harder to spot pedestrians and cyclists. Keep your eyes moving and scan the road.
- Watch for Fatigue – Driving at night can make you more tired. Take breaks if needed.
Wet Weather Driving Tips
- Slow Down – Wet roads reduce grip, so drive at a safe speed.
- Increase Following Distance – Maintain a 4-second gap instead of the usual 2 seconds.
- Avoid Sudden Movements – Brake and accelerate gently to prevent skidding.
Practicing in these conditions with a supervisor will help you build confidence and improve your ability to handle different road situations safely.
