THE HERALD, Wednesday, October 20, 1976, PAGE a Play it safe after dark | Pointing out that the nighttime traffic death rate is two and a half times that of the daytime rate, the B.C, Automobile Association is advising drivers how to play it safe after dark. Make sure you can be seen, keep vehicle lights in top condition, see that your vision remalns normal and know where and when to look. Reflective ‘tape can in- crease visibility when ap- plied to the ends of bumpers and the rear edge of doors. When _— stopping for emergencies, motorists phoul pull onto the shoulder far as possible. Parking lights should be switched on if the car is not equipped with a four-way flasher. Flashlight, flares or reflectors carried in the car will warn drivers should a breakdown occur. To obtain maximum light, -make sure that the battery is fully charged and the headlights are properly aimed so that they can reveal objects at least 350 feet. ahead. Lamp lenses _ should be cleaned regularly, and windows kept free of log. Driving with adequate . vision, says BCAA, means making sure that. eye glasses — if you wear them . pan : eS te tel : w : e Fi a a é — Gre properly fitted. Sunglasses should never be worn at night, Factors that ‘impair vision include smoking, the use of alcohol, lights inside the car, and a Jack of fresh air circulating in the ear. Also, a driver who leaves a brightly-lit building to enter a car should give his eyes time to adjust to dim light. On open highways, drivers should look ahead as far as the headlights extend. When meeting cars, vision should be focused on the right edge of the lane as far ahead as possible. When a car approaches from the rear, a driver should not look directly at the rear view mirror because he might be blinded by glare from the following vehicle's headlights. BCAA also cites these special techniques for nighttime driving: - Adjust speed so you can ‘stop easily in the visible distance ahead. - Slow down gradually when stopping to allow other drivers more reaction time. - Increase following distance. - Flash headlights when overtaking. - Use high beams on rural roads and freeways when there is no traffic nearby.
