40% of Car Crashes Happen at Night! 🌙 🚗

Despite less traffic on the road, driving at night has always been more dangerous than driving during the daytime. Data from the National Road Safety Partnership Program (NRSPP) reveals that 40 per cent of all crashes occur at night, even though only 25 per cent of all driving occurs during nighttime hours. While fatigue and increased wildlife can contribute to an increased risk of crashing at night, the dangers of reduced visibility at night cannot be overstated. According to the NRSPP, 90 per cent of a motorist's ability to react depends on their vision, which can be greatly impacted at night (as well as in other low-light environments). The good news is there are ways to improve your visibility when driving at night – here's what you need to know: • Avoid driving when tired • Clean your windscreen and mirrors • Check headlights are clean and at correct angle • Don't look directly at oncoming headlights • Maintain a safe following distance • Drive according to the road conditions • Watch out for wildlife Read more: https://www.racv.com.au/royalauto/lifestyle-home/wellbeing/improve-eyesight-driving-at-night.html Get car help 24/7 Australia-wide 🔎 RACV Emergency Roadside Assistance For more information: 🔎 https://www.racv.com.au 📱 Call us on 13 72 28 for general enquiries Subscribe to our newsletter: 📩 https://www.racv.com.au/royalauto/subscribe.html Follow us: https://www.youtube.com/racvofficial https://www.facebook.com/racv https://www.instagram.com/racvofficial https://www.linkedin.com/company/racv #racv #racvnewsandlifestyle #emergencyroadsideassistance
