Perils of Night Driving on a Camping Trip
What amazes us in the daylight becomes precautionary in the night. Yes, you guessed it right...it is driving. With ample of daylight, we have all the perspective very clear and bright in the day while driving. Darkness falls and things start to become difficult.
Driving at night has its own perils especially when you are with a heavy vehicle like a camper or a caravan. It is recommended not to drive at night while you are on a camping trip and stay put at your camping spot and enjoy the night. Night driving has its own hassles and dangers, read on to know about them.
The first thing that comes to our minds when we plan or think about night driving is—sleep. Nights are for sleeping as it gives our brains the required rest after the long day’s activities. There are whopping numbers from around the world of accidents caused by sleep-deprived driving at night.
Talking about night driving, what follows it is, no stimulation. Stimulation is any activity that keeps us active like- talking, listening to music etc. Driving at night is already a tiring job and if you do not get stimulation, falling asleep is inevitable. Most of the night drivers do not stimulate themselves and fall prey to dozing.
Most of the people do not know what lights to use when driving at night and make it difficult for traffic coming from the opposite side. High beam in your vehicle is just like the horn, a way of communicating with the traffic or to intimate the oncoming traffic you are driving on a shady single-track road. Using high beam while on a highway, many times cause blackouts which eventually results in accidents.
Night time is animal time. Many animals come out in the dark and cross their territories in search of food and water which they can’t in the daytime fearing the human presence. In this pursuit, the animals cross and stride on roads, which eventually makes them prey to human vehicles.
Night driving is unusual and so needs more than usual day drivers. As a night drivers, you should have the skills that are required to drive at night. Handing over your camper to an unskilled night driver or probably to a novice to try a hand at, is quite dangerous.
