As we 'Fall Back' to Shorter Days, Take Extra Care on the Road; Daylight Savings Ends Sunday, November 6th
When Daylight Saving Time ends – for 2022, that's 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 6 – many people will find themselves spending more time driving in the dark. Shorter days, fatigue, compromised night vision, rush hour and impaired drivers are some of the risks we face when driving at night. Depth perception, color recognition and peripheral vision can be compromised in the dark, and the glare of headlights from an oncoming vehicle can temporarily blind a driver. What should you do to combat darkness?
- Aim your headlights correctly, and make sure they're clean
- Dim your dashboard
- Look away from oncoming lights
- If you wear glasses, make sure they're anti-reflective
- Clean the windshield to eliminate streaks
- Slow down to compensate for limited visibility and reduced stopping time
