There are several reasons why driving at night is more difficult than driving during the day. It is more difficult for drivers to see hazards, the glare of headlights can affect drivers' vision, and there are more fatigued drivers on the road.

Unless you must run the engine to operate a pump, you should always turn off the engine before loading or unloading flammable liquids.

If you are not sure which method to use when putting out a fire, do not attempt to extinguish the fire on your own. Instead, wait for firefighters to arrive and let them handle it. This is especially true if you are experiencing a hazardous materials fire.

Always watch for hazards on the road ahead. Doing this will allow you time to react to hazards before meeting them.

The first hazardous materials class includes explosives such as ammunition, dynamite, and fireworks.

Potential warning signs of fatigue include difficulty focusing, frequent blinking, or heavy eyelids; yawning repeatedly or rubbing your eyes; daydreaming; wandering or disconnected thoughts; trouble remembering the last few miles you've driven; missing exits or traffic signs; having trouble keeping your head up; drifting from your lane; following too closely; hitting a shoulder rumble strip; or feeling restless and irritable.

A vehicle that lacks the proper placards for any hazardous materials on board may not be driven, except as necessary to protect life and property in an emergency.
