Driving a Warrington hire van at night brings with it a new set of challenges compared to driving in the daylight. There are some unique challenges when you are driving a hire van at night.
Guide To Driving A Warrington Hire Van At Night
When driving at night, good visibility is important. Make sure that your windows are clean and clear, as lights can refract against the dirt and blur your view of the road. Beware of the risks dazzling by oncoming drivers. If this happens to you, reduce your speed, and turn your head a bit so you are using your peripheral vision.
Be constantly aware of your attention level at night. It is easy to get drowsy and “switch off”. Take regular breaks, and if you do feel yourself nodding off, turn on the cold air blower and stop for a rest as soon as it is safe to do so. It is not worth the risk to yourself and other road users of falling asleep at the wheel.
Driving a Van at Night
There are some specific problems when you are driving a van at night. The most obvious one is the reduced visibility to the rear. This is because most Warrington Hire vans have a solid rear window and no central rear view mirror. This means that if a driver is coming up behind you, you could not be aware of them if they are in your blind spot. So always double check the side mirrors and your blind spot over your shoulder before you change lanes at night.
