There are 6 conditions that influences your driving, your ability to recognise these conditions and the potential hazard they bring determines your ability to drive safely.

THOSE CONDITIONS ARE

LIGHT
The light from the sun can dazzle the driver when he faces the sun either in the morning or during sun setting in the evening. The driver should slow down and put on the sun visor, he can also wear sunglasses sometimes, there is too little light during daytime hours such as down at dust, when the sky is dark die to rain clouds. When roadway is covered with smoke and dust. In such a situation, turn your low beam light and reduce your speed.

At night, light from the on-coming vehicle or the one behind you can dazzle you. When the light is from the vehicle behind, adjust your review mirror so that the light rays do not strike your eyes directly.

For light from on-coming vehicle, communicate twice to the driver by flashing your lights. Of the driver fails to turn his light to low beam, start to defend yourself against being blind by doing the following

  • Turn your eyes from the bright lights to the right and down a little bit for the road edge markings to guide you. Never retaliate by giving the other driver full beam.
  • Reduce speed
  • Increase following distance if there is vehicle.
  • Watch for pedestrians, cyclist and obstructions, if you are blinded before you could turn away, stop and recover. It takes 4- 7 seconds to recover sight. Do not drive while blinded by on-coming vehicle headlights. Do not override your head lamp always keep them clean.

I prepared six conditions of driving but this is all I can discuss for now, stay tuned for the next article.
