Phone: Black Mtn. 6231 Resped For Traffic Hazards Is Good Sense Being afraid of the dark isn t good common sense. But having a reasonable respect for the traffic hazards that dark ness brings is another story. The hazards you meet when you drive after dark are the object of state wide interest. And rightly so. It’s Slow Down and Live time. Nights, of course, are much shorter during the summer when traffic accidents usually reach their peak, but the State Depart ment of Motor Vehicles still thinks it’s a good time to talk about nighttime traffic hazards. To begin with, the nighttime hazards which prove so dangerous are actually no different than any other traffic hazard. The only difference is that we don’t see them so well. So, in order to op erate on the highway at all, we have to depend on artificial light. This creates additional hazards if it isn’t used properly. To give credit where credit is due, we must admit that our auto headlights are much more efficient today than they were years ago. In recent years we have also seen a tremendous improvement in street lighting. Nevertheless, ar tificial light at its best cannot be regarded as the equivalent of broad daylight. Although our car headlights make it possible for us to drive after dark with compara tive safety, we must always be aware of the following deficien 1. Artificial lights can illumi nate only a limited area. We can not see what dangers may lurk to the right or left, or just beyond our headlight penetration. 2. The stronger the headlight beam, and the better it is aimed and focussed to light up long stretches of the highway ahead, the greater the danger of blinding other drivers with headlight glare. 3. Artificial lights can burn out, short out, or otherwise fail just when you may be depending on them most. These deficiencies must be com pensated for in some way or an other—or else the traffic death toll will continue high during hours of dusk and darkness. Limitations in headlight range must be compensated for by re duced speed. “Slow dowm at sun down” is a warning we’ve given before, but it’s w'orth repeating. Experienced drivers will want to operate at speeds much lower than the designated speed limit. He definitely does not feel that he must alwrays operate at maximum legal speeds to maintain his repu tation as a driver. He takes all existing conditions into considera tion when deciding upon his trav eling speed. Conditions outside one’s headlight range are unknown, but it is always best to be prepared for the worst.

Therefore, one important rule for your safety on the highway is: Never drive so fast that you can't stop easily within the distance il luminated* by your headlights. Re member that this stopping dis tance includes the distance cov ered while you are getting your foot on the brake plus the actual braking distance. Strict observance of this import ant rule will mean that you will never exceed, and seldom take full advantage of. North Carolina': maximum speed limit of 55 miles per hour. As for the glare factor in head light illumination, protect your own eyes by keeping your wind shield clean; protect the other fel low, which of course if just anoth er way of protecting yourself, by making sure your lights are in ad justment, and by dimming them when meeting or following other on the highway. Guard against light failure by checking your lights frequently, by keeping your battery in good con dition, by replacing burned out lights right away. Don’t forget the pedestrian or the bicycle rider who will be much more difficult for you to see at night than during the day. They'll pop up when you least expect it, unless you have formed the im portant habit of watching for them. Although there are many dis advantages in driving after dark, there is one advantage. The head light glow from approaching cars can be seen from behind hills and around corners, before the cars themselves come into sight.
