Do you have trouble driving in the dark? Well, you’re not the only one! It is a proven fact that your vision can become impaired in the darkness. There’s a whole lot of science behind it but trust me it’s true! Anyway, driving in the dark can become difficult for some people, and it is harder for us to see in the dark to begin with. When you can’t see the road clearly this can lead to dangerous driving. Don’t stress this doesn’t mean that you can’t drive in the dark, it just means you should look up some tips to help you through the dark. Luckily I did the hard work for you! Check out our tips for driving after the sun has gone down safely!

1. Don’t use “night driving glasses.” In fact, don’t wear glasses with any tint at all when driving at night. The only spectacles on your nose should be the ones with your prescription in them (if you wear glasses). Otherwise, keep that tint out of here!
2. If approaching headlights tend to blind you, focus on the white line on the side of the road. You’ll stay in your lane and not get spots in the center of your vision from the oncoming headlights.
3. Try to work your schedule around nighttime. If you know that you’re going to be driving after dark, try and find a ride home or to wherever you’re going. Ridesharing services or taxis are also a great option. Alternately, just don’t leave the house after dark. (This is what I do. I am very lazy and any excuse to stay in bed is a good one.)
4. Try and drive in well-lit areas at night so that you can have the added bonus of streetlights.
5. Have your dealer look at your headlights and ask about reconditioning or upgrading to brighter bulbs. It can make a difference!
