Why do we need to have good lighting when driving at night?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
Driving at night presents additional challenges due to the **lack of lighting** and the possibility of **glare**. It is crucial to have good lighting to **avoid dazzling other drivers**.
- **Glare**: When a vehicle dazzles another, too much light enters the driver's eyes, making it difficult to see the road. To avoid dazzling others, it is important to keep the lights well-adjusted and to adjust the vehicle's weight so that the dipped headlights are not too high. Additionally, when encountering another vehicle, the high beams should be turned off and the dipped headlights turned on.
- In situations such as **curves**, the vehicle on the inside should turn off the high beams, as its lights directly illuminate the road and can dazzle the other driver. The driver on the outside can keep the high beams on, as long as they do not dazzle others.
Therefore, good lighting not only improves visibility but is also essential to **avoid dazzling other drivers**, thus ensuring safer driving for everyone.
