Now that our days are shorter, it’s important to practice safe nighttime driving. Here are some tips to keep you, and other drivers on the road, safe: 1. Don’t drive when you’re tired. Take steps during the day to cut down on fatigue as nightfall comes. ... 2. Complete a pre-trip safety check. Identify any damage, check that your mirrors and windows are not only free of cracks/damage, but are also clean and ensure your lights are working properly, on top of the other steps you take before hitting the highway. 3. Avoid heavy meals. When you’re full, your body is working overtime to digest what you’ve eaten, and this can make you feel sluggish. 4. Stay alert. Keep the temperature in your cab cool, play some upbeat music or a funny podcast, or call a friend if you’re feeling overtired. Even better? Take a break. See more
