1. Dim Your Instrument Panel & Dashboard Lights
Make sure you keep your eyes off of oncoming headlights as they can blind you momentarily. Lights shining elsewhere in the car such as on the dashboard or a reading light in the passenger seat can also compromise your forward vision. Keep your dashboard as dim as possible so that you're able to see the road clearly and other drivers won't be blinded either.
2. Scan the Road
Keep your eyes moving while you're driving – never focus on just one point. Depth perception isn't as keen after the sun has gone down, and our eyes might become dry and tired because we're trying to concentrate more.
3. Aim Your Headlights
We often overlook the possibility that our headlights are aligned incorrectly. Make sure they're aimed properly in order to see directly in front of you and not blind drivers in front of you.
It's also important to know what to look for when you're driving at night. If you're driving through the country, your headlights might bounce off of the retina of wild animals. Keep an eye out for their glowing eyes on the side of the road.
