[. . . ] You may not realize the surface isslippery until your vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues -- such asenough water, ice orpacked snow on the road to make a "mirrored surface" -- and slow down when you have any doubt. Remember: Any anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps avoid only the braking skid. Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control the vehicle. of Defensive drivers avoid most skids taking reasonable by care suited to existing conditions, andby not "overdriving" those conditions. But skidsare always possible. The threetypes of skids correspond to your vehicle's three controlsystems. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causestires to slip and lose corneringforce. And in the acceleration skid, too much throttle causes the driving wheels to spin, A cornering skidis best handled by easing your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you have theEnhanced Traction System, remember:It helps avoid only the acceleration skid. 4-14 Driving at Night 0 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlampsbehind you. Since you can't see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more spacebetween you and other vehicles. If you're tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest. 0 0 0 A 0 Night Vision No one can see as well at night asin the daytime. A 50-year-old driver may require at least twiceas much light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old. Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Don't drink and drive. What you do in the daytime can alsoaffect your night vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. They may cut down on glare from headlamps, they also make a lot but of things invisible. 4-15 You can be temporarily blinded by approaching headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who doesn't lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle clean -- inside and out. Dirty glass makes lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would, making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly. Remember that your headlamps light up far less of a roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your eyes moving; that way, it's easier to pick out dimly lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be checked regularly for proper aim, so should your eyes be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night blindness -- the inability to see in dim light -- and aren't even aware of it. Driving in Rain and Wet Roads on 1 Rain and wetroads can mean driving trouble.
