Night Driving
Made Easy
By Martha Johnson
Dodge Safety Consulfant

Whether driving in the city or
travelling the vacation highway,
night driving can be tiresome and
dangerous.
Claring headlights, flashing
neon signs, changing traffic lights
and glistening reflections often
are called ''the deceiving eyes of
the night"
Your sundown-to-sunrise trav-
ell doesn't have to be dangerous,
though, if you take a few precau-
tions.
. Reduce your speed at night.
Turn on your driving lights
Immediately at sunset-ear-
lier when visibility is poor.
Lower your beams for app
preaching vehicles. Use up
per beams only when the
road is clear.
Keep your windows clean
for good vision.
. Keep a close watch for Pc
destrians.
. Stop TO rest when you be-
come sleepy.
. Keep the lights inside your
car turned off while driving.
= Never wear sunglasses at
night.
