What extra precaution should be taken in poorly lit areas where there are pedestrians at night?
Safe driving
Explanation
To drive safely in **poorly lit areas** at night, it is essential to **reduce speed**. This is due to several reasons:
- **Reduced visibility**: At night, the road is less illuminated, making it difficult to clearly see distances, people, objects, and other vehicles. Reducing speed gives you more time to react to any unforeseen events.
- **Adaptation to light changes**: When moving from a well-lit area to a poorly lit one, the eyes need a few seconds to adapt to the change in light. Driving more slowly allows your eyes to adjust without compromising safety.
- **Glare**: Other vehicles may dazzle you with their lights, affecting your ability to see the road. Reducing speed helps you maintain control of the vehicle in these situations.
In summary, by reducing speed in poorly lit areas, you increase your response capacity and safety when driving at night.
