Tips for Staying Safe While Driving at Night

Nighttime driving, especially on highways, presents added risks due to reduced visibility, fatigue, and the increased likelihood of encountering impaired drivers. To stay safe:

• Keep headlights clean and properly aimed.
• Reduce your speed and increase following distance.
• Stay alert for sudden lane changes or debris on the road.
• Avoid distractions, such as mobile devices, while driving.

Practicing defensive driving at night is essential for reducing the risk of serious accidents like the one on SR-50.
