Driving safety and the importance of proper lighting

Old cars suffer from condensation in the headlight assembly itself which can affect the effectiveness or longevity of your headlights. Newer cars are less prone to this, but it does happen. Research the options available, don’t just use the first option!

Car lights aren’t just used for night time driving, they are also quite important during the day. Half of the accidents that occur at junctions during daylight hours are actually caused by the two cars not seeing each other.

It has been recommended by a number of experts that you should use your headlights while it is still light. Obviously we’re not suggesting full beam, just switch on the low beam headlights or your sidelights. This is why many cars have daytime running lamps as standard.

There are also times during the day when you can’t see clearly, perhaps this is due to fog, snow storms, or very cold weather. If this is the case then it is equally important to use your headlights and/or even foglights as necessary.

Driving in wintry conditions can be quite dangerous, not only should you use your lights to their full you should also use some common sense.

Snow and ice are slippery under foot, let alone when you are in your car! Air on the side of caution, keep a slightly bigger gap in-between you and the car in front than you normally would do (you should do this during any inclement weather for increased safety). Avoid any harsh breaking as much as possible as this could easily result in a skid and a possible accident.

Winter takes its toll on all living things, although your car isn’t living it is still affected. It’s worthwhile getting some form of check up for your car to check its ok for the winter. This check up will also check your lighting systems, so it’s well worth the money, or if you are skilled enough you can do it yourself.

Snow seems to settle everywhere, you will obviously think to clean it from your windows. But do you remember to clean the snow from your mirrors, lights, and licence plate? Most people don’t or not enough to make them fully functional and easily seen. Your lights are a must, just think how bright they would be when they are covered in snow, not very!

Use your lights to help you see where you’re going, modern headlights use either halogen or xenon bulbs, which means they are very bright. Find your way, don’t get lost or worse have an accident!

Good luck, and safe driving.
