Driving conditions

Driving at night

The main guidelines to follow when 
driving at night are set out below:
– Drive with particular caution: at 

night, driving conditions are more 
demanding.  

– Reduce your speed, especially on 

roads with no streetlights.  

– At the first signs of drowsiness stop:  

to continue driving would be a risk 
for yourself and for others.  Proceed 
only after you have had a rest.  

– Keep the vehicle at a greater 

distance from vehicles in front of you 
than you would use during the day: it 
is difficult to assess the speed of 
other vehicles when you can only see 
the lights. 

– Check that the headlights are aimed 

correctly:  if they are too low, they 
reduce visibility and strain the eyes.  
If they are too high, they may bother 
the drivers of other vehicles. 

– Use the high beams only outside of 

densely-populated areas and when 
you are sure that they will not 
disturb other drivers.   

– When another vehicle is 

approaching, switch from high 
beams (if on) to low beams. 

– Keep lights and headlights clean.  

– Outside of densely-populated areas, 

beware of animals crossing the road.

Driving in the rain

Rain and wet roads are dangerous. On 
a wet road all the manoeuvres are 
more difficult since wheel grip on the 
asphalt is significantly reduced. This 
means that the braking distances 
increase considerably and the road 
holding decreases. 
Below are some advices for driving in 
the rain:  

– Reduce your speed and keep a 

greater safety distance from the 
vehicles in front of you.  High speed 
may result in a loss of control due to 
aquaplaning.

– Heavy rain also substantially reduces 

visibility.  In these circumstances, 
even during the day, turn on the low 
beams, to be more visible to other 
drivers.  

– Position the air conditioning and 

heating system controls for the 
demisting function, in order to avoid 
any visibility problems.

– Periodically check the conditions of 

the windscreen wiper blades.  

Driving in fog

If the fog is dense, avoid travelling 
where possible.
When driving in mist, blanket fog or 
when there is the possibility of banks 
of fog: 

– Keep a moderate speed.  

– Even in the daytime, turn on the low 

beams, the front and rear fog lights. 
Do not use the high beams.  

– Remember that fog creates 

dampness on the asphalt and thus 
any type of manoeuvre is more 
difficult and braking distances are 
extended. 

– Keep a safe distance from the vehicle 

in front of you. 

– Avoid sudden changes in speed as 

much as possible. 

– Whenever possible, avoid 

overtaking.

– If you are forced to stop the vehicle 

(breakdowns, impossibility of 
proceeding due to poor visibility, 
etc.), first of all, try to stop off of the 
travel lane. Then turn on the hazard 
warning lights and, if possible, the 
low beams. 

– Sound the horn rhythmically if you 

hear another vehicle approaching.
