Driving Country Roads at Night

Dark roads, wildlife and long distances call for a little extra care after sunset.

Slow down after dark

Give yourself time to react to curves and animals.

Use your high beams

Switch them on when no one is coming, and dim them for oncoming traffic.

Watch for eyeshine

Deer often travel in groups. If you see one, expect more.

Keep a full tank

Gas stations close early in rural areas.

Tell someone your route

Let family know when you leave and when you expect to arrive.
