Driving at night, especially in poor lighting conditions, even without street lights, is a big challenge for many new drivers. In such road conditions, you need to pay attention to the following experiences:
Focus and don't worry
The most important thing when driving is concentration to ensure safety for yourself and others in the car, especially at night, concentration must increase many times to predict and react promptly when encountering unexpected incidents on the road.
When you don’t have much driving experience, many people will be confused when driving at night. However, try to stay calm to observe and deal with situations that arise.
Use high beams
Using high beam mode will help to cover and expand the vision better than low beam. At the same time, flexibly switch between high beam and low beam to avoid dazzling and dangerous vehicles moving in the opposite direction.

Do not look into the headlights of oncoming vehicles.
Normally, when driving at night or in areas without street lights, drivers often encounter situations where they are dazzled by the headlights of oncoming vehicles. To avoid accidents, if you feel dazzled, signal the oncoming vehicle by flashing your lights. At the same time, slow down and do not look at the headlights of the opponent.
Follow the lines
Driving at night is very difficult to judge the situation as well as observe obstacles ahead, it is best to move the vehicle in the permitted lane by following the road markings, if you encroach on the lane it is very easy to collide.
Go slow
Driving slowly helps drivers to respond promptly to unexpected situations, however, they should drive at an appropriate slow speed, not too slow as it will affect the vehicles moving behind.
Do not stop suddenly
If you do not pay attention and stop suddenly at night and without street lights, it will be very dangerous. Vehicles moving behind may not be able to see your car stop, so the possibility of hitting the back of the car and causing an accident is very high.
If you must stop, pull over and signal so that vehicles behind can see you.
