With fast dusk and limited visibility, driving in the autumn and winter time requires more attention and skill behind the wheel. A high visibility vest can enhance the bright can keep you safer. In front of us is increased traffic on the roads due to Christmas and New Year holidays and trips to the holidays.
Remembering your own safety and other road users, pay attention to the state of the lights in our vehicles:
– The driver must always have lights turned on – according to the road conditions
– Lamp shades should be clean
– The lights must be set correctly – otherwise they will light up too close or dazzle other drivers
– The lights are always replaced after replacing the bulb, reflector, safety vest, cullet, repairing the suspension. We recommend using incandescent lamps approved by approved manufacturers – do not install LEDs and xenon bulb substitutes.
– If the reflector or diffuser is frayed and the light is shining poorly or the beam is blurred, it is safer to replace the reflector with a new one.
– Remember that most of the lights in vehicles at night do not guarantee sufficient illumination of the road, because the range of correctly positioned lights is between 20 m and 70 m on the left and rarely exceeds 100 m on the right. It is worth remembering during the overtaking maneuver.
– When driving at dusk, with the passing beam, be careful and safe, which is often well below the maximum allowed. The light of our car may be much weaker than other cars, sometimes for our own safety we should go slower than others.
– Adjust the speed also on the corners – the passing lights are asymmetrical, so when turning the corner is much better lit the turn to the right, and at the turn to the left the road is lighted closer and we are much dazzle
– We appeal to pedestrians to use proven reflective surfaces as large as possible, and placed low, reflective bands on their feet. Attested reflective vests are best seen. The fact that pedestrians see the car lights does not mean that the driver sees the pedestrian – it is safer to go down the road.
