Poor Lighting.
In the daytime there is usually enough light to see well. This
is not true at night. Some areas may have bright street lights,
but many areas will have poor lighting. On most roads you will probably
have to depend entirely on your headlights. Less light means you
will not be able to see hazards as well as in daytime. Road users
who do not have lights are hard to see. There are many accidents
at night involving pedestrians, joggers, bicyclists, and animals.
Even when there are lights, the road scene can be confusing. Traffic
signals and hazards can be hard to see against a background of signs,
shop windows, and other lights. Drive slower when lighting is poor
or confusing. Drive slowly enough to be sure you can stop in the
distance you can see ahead.
