Respect the Speed Limits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"respect](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17122131\/night-driving-safety-body-a-170520220520-1024x640.jpg\")
Always respect the speed limit when driving but be extra careful during the night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlways respect the speed limits but be extra vigilant during the night hours. As per the UAE speed limits<\/a>, the maximum speed limit is from 110 to 120 km\/h with a buffer of 20km\/h in all the Emirates except Abu Dhabi. In Abu Dhabi, the speed limit is between 140 km\/h and 160 km\/h. However, if you don\u2019t follow the speed limits, you will have to pay hefty fines and penalties. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNot only does this reduce the risk of accidents, but it also makes it possible to anticipate risky situations, especially in the event of sudden braking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maintain Safety Distance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Keeping a safety distance is another way to maintain night driving safety. No matter what time you are driving, maintaining a safe following distance<\/a> can reduce the risk of accidents. This refers to the length of the vehicle in front and that should not be less than two to three seconds in any case. It is also advisable to increase your safety distances when driving at night. Besides, adaptive cruise control in cars<\/a> can also help in following a safe distance when driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\nKeep Your Windshield and Mirrors Clean<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Keep](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17122431\/night-driving-safety-body-b-170520220520-1024x640.jpg\")
Keep your car mirrors neat and tidy for clearer vision<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHaving clean car windshields<\/a> and mirrors is smart no matter what time of the day it is, but it’s even more important when visibility is low or driving at night. Dust and scratches can cause glare and reflections, making it more difficult to see during night drives. Check your mirrors frequently to detect other vehicles on the road and avoid shocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWash all car mirrors front, rear and side for clear visibility. Also, check the wear of your car windshield wiper blades<\/a> to improve your vision as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDon’t Stare at Lights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If there are other cars on the road, be careful not to stare right into the light from their headlights. This can affect your night vision and leave your vision temporarily impaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check Your Vision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Dark conditions make it difficult for our eyes to accurately perceive depth and notice changes, so keep up with your eye appointments. Many different eye conditions can lead to reduced night vision, which can make driving in the dark more dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watch for Signs of Fatigue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It is important to know how to detect signs of fatigue when preparing for driving a car at night. Sensations of tingling in the eyes, hot flashes, neck rigidity and painful shoulders are some symptoms to be taken seriously. You can also stop for a good 20 minutes as soon as you realize you need to take a rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check Your Vehicle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Before setting off on a night road drive, we advise you to check your vehicle to ensure that it is working properly. Always check the condition of the tyres, lights, spare wheel<\/a> etc. And don’t forget to keep your car maintenance checklist<\/a> up to date to drive more safely, both during the day and at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are also a professional driver and drive commercial transport, you should know that industrial vehicles require a more exhaustive review, since they tend to have more breakdowns. A prior review can help in avoiding an accident that can be caused due to the malfunction of your car parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid Drowsy Driving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"watch](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17122225\/night-driving-safety-body-d-170520220520-1024x640.jpg\")
If you feel drowsy, park the car and take some rest to gather energy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDrowsy driving<\/a> is a real hazard on the road, so rest before you have to drive, especially if it’s late at night. If you still feel dizziness while driving at night, it is best to stop, have an energy drink and walk a bit. If necessary, take a detour to a rest area and get some sleep before continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDo not insist on driving if you notice difficulty maintaining concentration or feel sleepy. Keep in mind that some medications can cause drowsiness, weakness and tiredness, and blurred vision. Hence, make sure you haven\u2019t had any medication that can cause drowsy driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides, you can also use night driving glasses and wearable gadgets to alert drowsy drivers<\/a> to avoid any hazardous situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWith this, we end our list of night driving safety tips. Besides, it is recommended to stop approximately every two hours to rest and clear your mind. Also, if you have a dim light on the dashboard and other elements of the cabin, you will see better what is outside the vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
