To drive safely at night, besides having good visibility, what is essential to have?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Safe night driving applies the principle of 'see and be seen'. It is not enough for the driver to have good visual capacity or for the surroundings to be visible; having good lighting on the vehicle is fundamental. Headlights must function correctly and be well-adjusted to effectively illuminate the road and allow other users to perceive our presence without being dazzled. Low attention at the wheel is dangerous (fatigue increases at night), and while brakes are always vital, the specific factor that enables driving in the dark is the lighting system.
