With the days becoming shorter as we head into winter, drivers may find themselves needing to head out onto the roads in the dark more often at this time of year.
It’s therefore a good time for motorists to brush up on the safety aspects of driving in the dark, with 40% of fatal traffic accidents taking place at night despite there being far less traffic on the road, according to the Royal Society for the Prevention Accidents. As the nights set in, car experts at Leasing Options have compiled a list of advice to follow to stay safe on the roads, the Liverpool Echo reports .
Leasing Options COO Mike Thompson said: “Driving in the dark can be a sensory overload after a summer of light nights. If you’re not feeling confident when driving in the dark, consider going for a practice drive on a Sunday evening when the roads are quieter.”
