Nighttime Driving Basics

Stay safe while driving at night

This guide covers safe nighttime driving: clean and aim headlights, use high beams appropriately, reduce speed, increase following distance, and avoid glare.

Check headlights

Clean lenses, ensure proper aim, and replace bulbs as needed.

Use high beams wisely

Use when safe; dim for oncoming traffic and when following cars.

Slow down and space out

Reduce speed and increase following distance to allow for reduced visibility.

Avoid glare

Do not stare at oncoming lights; use mirror night modes and look to the right edge if needed.
