Don't Be Blinded By The Night

For most, driving at night is more demanding and stressful than driving during the day.

Many drivers suffer from night myopia, a condition in which the eyes have a more difficult time seeing clearly. But despite less-than-perfect vision, you can still drive safely at night. Here are a few tips:


  • Keep your windshield clean, both inside and outside. Dirty windshields can create halos and reflections around lights and headlights, making it more difficult to see accurately.
  • Avoid the effects of the glare of oncoming headlights by concentrating on the nearside curb. Don't forget to slow down as you do this.
  • Some evidence has shown that tinted lenses and windshields do not help improve your vision on the road. They may actually make your vision worse. If you want glare protection, wear glasses that have anti-reflection coating.
