Riding at night presents additional challenges due to reduced visibility. Using the lights of the car ahead to help you see can be a helpful strategy to increase your safety. The lights from the vehicle in front can illuminate the road ahead, providing better visibility for potential hazards such as potholes, animals, or debris. This can give you more time to react and adjust your riding accordingly. Turning off your headlight to avoid glare is dangerous as it significantly decreases your visibility to other road users. Decreasing your following distance is also risky as it reduces the time you have to react to sudden stops or obstacles. Riding close to the centerline can increase the risk of head-on collisions with vehicles coming from the opposite direction.
