Driving in the city is generally not a big problem since there are usually streetlights. However, driving on roads without any or with very few streetlights can be quite tiring. You can adopt the following methods to cope:
1. You may use high beams while driving. Switch to low beams when you are about 100 meters away from an oncoming vehicle, and switch back to high beams after passing.
2. Roads are usually marked with yellow or white lane lines. At night, pay extra attention to these lane lines ahead of you, which can make driving easier.
3. When encountering an oncoming vehicle, don’t worry about the other car’s lights. Just focus on the lane lines ahead of you. As long as you stay in your own lane and slow down appropriately, you’ll be fine. Most drivers will use low beams during encounters, so the light won’t be too glaring. Of course, some inexperienced drivers may not know how to switch between high and low beams and might keep their high beams on. There are also some inconsiderate drivers who do the same, in which case you should slow down further and wait for them to pass. Just pay attention to the road conditions to your right front—you’ll be fine.
4. Driving in the rain is more troublesome, as rainwater on the road reflects light and makes it hard to see the lane lines. In this case, it’s best to follow another vehicle, keeping your low beams on and maintaining a close but safe distance. If there’s no vehicle to follow, then you’ll have to drive more slowly. Eventually, someone with better driving skills will overtake you, and you can follow them again. Additionally, at night, the road surface is typically gray-black after rain, bumps, puddles, and potholes appear black, and water accumulations look white.
