– Make sure the headlight beams are
properly positioned: if they are too
low, they reduce visibility and strain
your eyes. If they are too high they
can dazzle other drivers.
– Only use main beam headlights
when you are driving outside town
and when you are sure they do not
annoy other drivers.
– Dip your headlights as soon as you
see cars coming in the other direction
and pass them with the headlights
dipped.
– Keep all lights clean.
– Beware of animals crossing the
road when driving in the country.
– You should be physically fit and
mentally alert before setting out on
long journeys.
– Do not drive too many hours at a
time but stop at intervals to stretch
your legs and recoup your energy.
– Make sure the air in the car is be-
ing changed continuously.
– Never coast downhill (i.e. with the
engine off): if you do, you lose the aid
of engine braking and power brakes
so that braking requires greater effort.

engine off): if you do, you lose the aid
of engine braking.
DRIVING AT NIGHT
There are the main rules to follow
when you are driving at night.
– Drive especially carefully: it is
harder to drive at night.
– Slow down especially if the road is
not lit.
– At the first signs of sleepiness, stop:
continuing would be a risk for your-
self and everybody else. Only start
driving again when you have had
enough rest.
– Keep a greater safety distance
from the cars in front of you than
during daylight hours: it is hard to
judge how fast other cars are going
when all you can see are their lights.
Always fasten both front
and back seat belts, in-
cluding child restraint sys-
tems. Travelling with the seat belts
unfastened increases the risk of in-
jury or death if you are in a colli-
sion.
Driving while drunk or
under the influence of
drugs or certain medicines
is dangerous for both you and
other road users.
