We have all experienced it….driving along and all of a sudden some clown coming the other way decides to pull out of a line of traffic and overtake them, forcing us to take evasive action.

We can reduce the risk of this occurring by making ourselves much more visible to the on-coming traffic. The simplest way to do this is to drive with our head lights on low beam both day and night. As well as making it so that we can be clearly seen from a much greater distance…..it also makes judging that distance much easier for the oncoming vehicle. This is even more effective in less than ideal light situations.

Don’t believe me……then start to take note of which vehicles are easiest to see on your next trip……The ones with lights on….or lights off!!!!
