Drive slowly enough that you can stop within the area illuminated by your headlights.

Turn on your high beam headlights to better see the vehicles ahead of you.

Keep the instrument panel lights bright to be more visible to other drivers.

You should drive more slowly at night than during the day because it is not possible to see as far ahead at night. You should make sure that you can stop within the area illuminated by your headlights.

3. Increase your following distance when driving behind a large vehicle:

To better see around the sides of the vehicle.

Because other drivers tend to pull behind large vehicles before trying to pass them.

Because following too closely will get you caught in the vehicle's slipstream.

Drivers of trucks, buses, vans, and any vehicles pulling campers or trailers may not be able to see you if you are driving directly behind them. Increase your following distance when driving behind one of these vehicles. Additionally, large vehicles can block your view of the road, so increase your following distance to look around the sides of the vehicle and see the road ahead.
