One of the most popular songs of the 80’s pop star Houdini – ‘The freaks come out at night’. Of course, some of your fears work when you drive on the road after dark. An unknown fear works on the night road, in all the cars that run on the road. During the day where 90% of the nuanced scenes you see in the sunlight, a dark dramatic atmosphere is created in the vicinity as the sunsets. And then it becomes difficult to show 49%. Besides, while driving at night, you will see different types of people – nocturnal, drunk, crazy, thugs, and so on! At night, you will have to face various dangers, including potholes and car parts problems. Today we will share in our article some tips on how to drive safely at night by avoiding these dangers, hopefully, you will find some benefits-
Caution in Taking Food/Medicine
You must be careful about taking certain medications before driving at night. Medications that make you sleepy or drowsy while driving should be avoided. . Rice is a carbohydrate food. Many people have noticed that after eating rice at noon, our eyes close in our sleep, mainly due to eating rice. So before driving, you should eat protein-rich food instead of carbohydrate food.
An article about car safety is never complete without a drink. So here are some tips to help you get started:
Drink and drive can never be a good thing for a driver. You must refrain from taking anything intoxicating before driving. About 7% of accidents occur between 6 pm and 6 am and usually on the days before the weekly holidays. You may see in any scene of the movie, the protagonist is singing and drinking sad songs and driving, but in reality, if you do that, you will lose your life and also endanger the lives of some people in the vicinity, to be honest.
What can you do?
You can drink caffeinated foods like tea or coffee before driving at night and you will not get one to one and a half hours of sleep. According to research, if you take caffeine equal to two cups of coffee, you will not have a ‘sleep attack’ in one hour.
And the best idea is to sit next to you and if someone talks to you, your sleep will be completely gone and the chances of being in danger will be greatly reduced.
Using Light
As I said before, it is very difficult for people to drive on the roads in the dark when the sun goes down. So here you have to make maximum use of technology and at the same time make sure that you are looking right in front of you and the people in front of you are looking right. Before driving at night, make sure that the headlights are working properly. Also, make sure that the front of the headlights is clean. If the two headlights on the front of the car are in order, your car will be 50% less likely to be in danger. Some drivers use fog lights during the day or by themselves, and many do not know how to use high beams. Before driving, you must know the correct use of these lights.
Do not use Extra Light
First, you need to know the correct use of car lights. That is, exactly when to use the lights. And secondly, you need to know when you will not use the light i.e. keep the light off. If you notice on the road from time to time, you will see that some drivers keep the headlights on in such a way that the retina of the driver of the car coming from the front glows in the light. Take your eyes off the bright headlights from the opposite side or look in such a way that your eyes can turn to the front again in a few seconds and concentrate on driving again. Also, set the rear-view mirror in such a way that even if someone throws too much light from behind, you will not have any problem with your eyes.
Application of technology
We are living in the golden age of technology. But still, some people are upset over the gadget. Remember, gadgets are not always a cause for concern for life, sometimes they are a cause for saving lives.
- In case of any danger, accident, any breakdown, or if you feel more tired then your mobile phone will call for emergency help.
- The new addition to Android or smartphone is ‘Night Mode’. If you go to any new place, you must turn on your GPS system. And if you turn on the night mood, you will never lose your way by mistake.
- Toyota Ntune and Ford Sync cars are made through the telematics system. Not only will it show you your location, but it will also show you if there are any police stations, food shops or petrol pumps around you. It will also arrange an emergency call for you in case of any emergency.
- Some hire-end cars have a red night vision that allows you to pinpoint and provide information within seconds of any obstacles, people, or animals approaching your car’s headlights.
Modern cars – SUVs
Modern cars and SUVs have become much more reliable than ever before in the use of technology. You can always drive these cars day or night. Destiny can’t say your seatbelt could break at any time, the wheel could be punctured, or you could get stuck in your destination for some natural reason.
Emergency Kit
Car emergency kits can help you initially or for a while but not always provide safety. But still, you can keep an emergency kit in the car for maximum safety of the car. Or you can make a set of equipment together one by one.
Let’s see what kind of parts can be in your emergency kit-
1. Jumper cables (battery charging device).
2. A few liters of oil.
3. Bottled water (can be used to cool the engine).
4. Blanket.
5. Emergency Roadside Flare (you can see the picture with Google search).
6. Plastic cover.
7. Multi-tool.
8. Tire sealer.
