No. 2—NIGHT DRIVING
rk TOST AS nti as can be that when people get expert at anything they're
aa
apt to begin getting careless about it, and that’s what we have to look out
for when driving our cars. For Instance, we recently heard a group of
engineers discussing night driving, and one thing they kept talking about
was “over-driving our headlights.”
Now that term seems to be a common one with them, but it’s new to most
of us.
What they mean is that the distance we can see
clearly by headlights is, of course, limited, and that
we are apt to let our car speeds get beyond the point
where we could easily stop within that limited dis
tance. It’s true that we naturally tend to go a little
slower at night. But if we aren’t careful we gradually
get going faster than we realize, and that may get us
into trouble. You see, momentum, the same force
that tries to keep us from making turns safely; that
cuts all kinds of capers on slippery roads ... never
sleeps! He works on the same old principles night and
day. Darkness doesn’t hinder him, but It hinders us.
Most modern headlights are pretty wonderful
lights, but after all they don’t give us the distance
or clarity of vision that daylight does. So, on considerably shorter notice
than in the daytime a vehicle or pedestrian can come out of the darkness.
i we know it we may have to slow down or stop for someone
or something on the road ... perhaps one of those big lumbering trucks
that you barely see till you’re right up on them; or a
car whose tail-light has gone out... an unexpected
curve, or what not
And that’s where we meet up with momentum
again. You see, stopping isn’t the one simple action
we always thought it was. The truth Is, we are told,
that there are really three things we have to do to
First we have to think of stopping.

In fact, at only 30 miles an hour the average driver
goes 33 feet before he can even start to use the brakes.

needed to stop increases a great deal as we Increase

drivers have pointed out how to avoid trouble from

when passing other cars at night is to stop looking
at their lights and watch the right-hand side of the road.
The truth of the matter Is that night driving can be just as pleasant an<
Just as safe as day driving. But we have to be more alert and more carefuL
