Safe Driving Tips to Follow at Night in Delaware  

As the sun sets and darkness envelops the Newark, DE, area, safe driving practices become even more critical. At Porsche of Delaware, we’re committed to ensuring your safety on the road day and night. In this blog post, we’ll share valuable tips for driving safely at night in the Newark area, allowing you to navigate the streets and arrive at your destination securely and confidently.  

Five Rules to Follow While Driving at Night  

1. Ensure Proper Visibility: Good visibility is paramount when driving at night. Before setting off, check that all your vehicle’s exterior lights function correctly. This includes headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals. Clean your windshield and other windows to eliminate streaks and glare that can impair your vision.  

2. Dim Your Interior Lights: Bright interior lights can hinder visibility, making it harder to see the road and potential hazards outside your vehicle. Dim your dashboard lights and avoid using overhead lights while driving at night. This minimizes distractions and helps you maintain focus on the road.  

3. Keep Your Distance: Maintaining a safe following distance is crucial, especially at night. Reduced visibility means you need extra time to react to sudden stops or obstacles. Increase the distance between your vehicle and the one ahead to ensure you have enough space to brake safely.  

4. Watch Out for Pedestrians and Bicyclists: Pedestrians and bicyclists can be harder to spot in the dark. Always watch for anyone crossing the road or walking along the roadside. Exercise caution, especially near intersections, crosswalks, and areas with limited lighting.  

5. Avoid Glare from Oncoming Vehicles: The glare from oncoming vehicles’ headlights can be blinding, making it difficult to see the road ahead. To reduce the impact of glare, focus your gaze on the right edge of your lane and use the white line as a reference.
