Driving safely at night<\/h3>\n
In the\u00a0country as well as in urban areas, the risk of road accidents is greater at night, partly due to lack of visibility.<\/p>\n
The lack of visibility requires to pay more\u00a0attention and be more vigilant. It must be offset by a number of elements which, combined and used wisely, will ensure you arrive safely.<\/p>\n
Risk factors<\/h3>\n
At dusk beware of:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Change in visual perception: excellent visual acuity may decline sharply, from 5 to 6\/10. For smokers, there is a further decrease in visual acuity of 20-30% due to nicotine.<\/li>\n
- Mitigation of contrasts (colours become dull)<\/li>\n
- Changing the visual field<\/li>\n
- Disruption sense Relief<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Other risk factors for the night:<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Glare crossing a vehicle<\/li>\n
- The transition zones lit unlit parts (especially the back roads outside urban areas).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Our tips<\/h3>\n
Reduce your speed. Your low beams are light at 50 meters. This is the minimum stop distance when driving at 70 kph … Beyond this speed, you will not be able to stop before an obstacle …<\/p>\n
To avoid glare, crossing a vehicle, look at the right of the road verge. Do not look at the lights of oncoming vehicles in front.<\/p>\n
Renounce passing a vehicle in case of doubt (at night, a car oncoming seems further away than it is).<\/p>\n
Know the signs of fatigue<\/a>: itchy eyes, neck and back that stiffen, heavy eyelids … In this case, there is only one solution: stop in a safe place to relax and feel free to sleep twenty minutes in order to recover a bit.<\/p>\n
In any case, take a break every two hours. It is not only good for you but also for your ability to see better at night after resting your eyes for a bit.<\/p>\n
See you again soon, know you know how to drive safely at night !<\/p>\n

<\/b>Moins de circulation, mais plus de dangers\u00a0: la nuit repr\u00e9sente moins de 10% du trafic mais 44% des tu\u00e9s.<\/h1>\u00a0<\/p>
En rase campagne comme en agglom\u00e9ration, l'ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 routi\u00e8re est plus grande la nuit, en raison notamment du manque de visibilit\u00e9.<\/p>
Le manque de visibilit\u00e9 exige plus d\u2019attention et de vigilance. Il doit \u00eatre compens\u00e9 par un certain nombre d\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9ments qui, combin\u00e9s et utilis\u00e9s \u00e0 bon escient, vous assureront d\u2019arriver \u00e0 bon port.<\/p>
Les facteurs de risque<\/h2>
D\u00e8s le cr\u00e9puscule :<\/p>
- Changement de la perception visuelle : une excellente acuit\u00e9 visuelle peut diminuer fortement, de 5 \u00e0 6\/10. Pour les fumeurs, on observe une diminution suppl\u00e9mentaire de l'acuit\u00e9 visuelle de 20 \u00e0 30 % due \u00e0 la nicotine.<\/li>
- Att\u00e9nuation des contrastes (les couleurs deviennent fades)<\/li>
- Modification du champ visuel<\/li>
- Perturbation du sens du relief<\/li><\/ul>
Autres facteurs de risque la nuit :<\/p>
- L'\u00e9blouissement en croisant un v\u00e9hicule,<\/li>
- Le passage de zones \u00e9clair\u00e9es \u00e0 des parties non \u00e9clair\u00e9es (en particulier les petites routes hors agglom\u00e9ration).<\/li><\/ul>
Nos conseils<\/h2>
R\u00e9duisez votre vitesse<\/b>. Vos feux de croisement n'\u00e9clairent qu'\u00e0 50 m\u00e8tres. C'est la distance d'arr\u00eat minimum lorsque vous roulez \u00e0 70 km\/h... Au-del\u00e0 de cette vitesse, vous ne pourrez pas vous arr\u00eater devant un obstacle...<\/p>
Pour \u00e9viter l'\u00e9blouissement en croisant un v\u00e9hicule,\u00a0regardez le bas-c\u00f4t\u00e9 droit de la route<\/b>. Ne regardez pas les feux des v\u00e9hicules qui arrivent en face.<\/p>
Renoncez \u00e0 un d\u00e9passement en cas de doute<\/b>\u00a0(la nuit, un v\u00e9hicule qui arrive en face semble plus loin qu'il ne l'est).<\/p>
Sachez reconna\u00eetre les signes de fatigue<\/b>\u00a0: picotements dans les yeux, nuque et dos qui se raidissent, paupi\u00e8res lourdes... Dans ce cas-l\u00e0 une seule solution : arr\u00eatez-vous dans un endroit s\u00fbr pour vous d\u00e9tendre et n'h\u00e9sitez pas \u00e0 dormir une vingtaine de minutes pour pouvoir r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer un peu.<\/p>
Dans tous les cas,\u00a0faites une pause<\/a><\/b>\u00a0toutes les deux heures<\/a>.<\/p>
