As you’ll see, there’s a 300% increase in traffic death rates at night, and sadly 62% of all pedestrian fatalities happen at night. Since you can’t see as much of the road as you can during the day time, it’s important to give yourself more room to react as needed.
As a safety precaution, it’s important to keep your headlights, tail lights and windows clean at all time. This will help greatly with night time visibility. Tailgating is never a good thing, but at night it’s a huge no-no. You want to increase your following distance from other cars as much as possible to help prevent accidents.
