MOTORWAY DRIVING AT NIGHT BAD WEATHER

Tiredness,
One of the most obvious dangers of driving at night is tiredness. Driving on the motorway can be very monotonous at the best of times, but at night there is less traffic, little scenery and some motorways are not lit. Our previous blog post on the dangers of driving when tired, has lots of information about tiredness and driving.
Lighting
It’s compulsory that both your sidelights and rear registration plate lights are lit between sunset and sunrise.
You must also use headlights at night or when visibility is reduced. The highway code defines night as the hours of darkness; from half an hour after sunset through to half an hour before sunrise.
Although it’s important to use your lights to improve your sight, you must also be aware of the consequences it can have on other drivers. Don’t use your fog lights (unless the weather requires them) or your full beams, other roads users could find these dazzling.
Speed
The speed limit is the maximum speed to travel at, however in certain conditions it can be dangerous to drive at this speed. You should always reduce your speed when driving at night, this is because it’s more difficult to see other road users and potential hazards.
Overtaking
When overtaking at night, it’s important to take extra care as it can be harder to judge speed and distance. If in doubt, avoid overtaking. MOTORWAY DRIVING AT NIGHT BAD WEATHER
