It’s great that you’re trying to learn more about road safety! Here are a few things that you can do to stay safe when driving at night on a dimly lit street:
  • Drive slowly
    so that you have time to stop if something crosses your headlights ahead of you
  • If there are no cars ahead of you, turn on your high-beam headlights so that you can see more of the road ahead of you
  • Otherwise, keep your lights dim so that you don’t blind other drivers by mistake
