THE BmAOH It~VIIW
WE DRIVERS
of ~ Mo~i~ P~. PrapmN!
by GoMr~ Moors
No. 2 NIGHT DRIVING
~tml ~s can be thatwhen pe0ple get expert at anything they're
apt to begh~ getting careless about it, and that's what we have to look out
when driving our cars. For instance, we recently heard a group of
discussing night driving, and one thing they kept talking about
was "over-driving our haadlights."
Now that term seems to be a common one with them, but it's new to most
What they mean is that the distance we can see
dearly by headlights is, of course, limited, and that
we are apt to let our car speeds get beyond the point
where we could easily stop within that limited dis-
tance. It's true that we naturally tend to go a little
slower at night. But it we aren't careful we gradually
get going faster than we realize, and that may get us
into trouble. You see, momentum, the same force
that tries to keep us from making turns safely; that
cuts all kinds of ~pers on slippery roads.., never
sleeps! He works on the same old principles night and
day. Darkness doesn't hinder him, but it hinders us.
Most modern headlights are pretty wonderful
lights, but after all they don't give us the distance
or clarity of vision that daylight does. So, on considerably shorter notice
than in the daytime a vehicle or pedestrian can come out of the darkness.
,Almost before we know it we may have to slow d)own or stop for someone
or something on the road . . . perhaps one of those big lumbering trucks
• that you barely see till you're right up on them; or a
• car whose taft-light has gone out., , an unexpected
curve, or what not.
And that's where we meet up with momentum
again. You see, stopping isn't the one simple action
we always thought it was. The truth is, we are told,
are really three things we have to do to
we have to think of stopping. Next we
:have to move one foot over on to the brake pedal.
And then we have to push down on the brake pedal.
Now we might not believe it, but they tell us those
• xst two steps take time. Less than a second, perhaps,
but even in that instant momentum is carrying us on.
In fact, at only 20 miles an hour the average driver
goes 22 feet before he can even start to use the brakes.

"1'hen after he does get the brakes to working, it takes him another 18 feet
to stop completely, even with the best brakes in the world and with good
under favorable road conditions. At least so we are told by the State
Board of Public Works of one of the states which has made a very intensive
study of drivers end dr/ping conditions, and which
has prepared the data for the above chart.
The important thing to realize is that distance
needed ,to stop increases a great deal as we increase
our speed.
We just have to remember that when we're mov-
/ng along in a car, we think by the foot, act by the
foot and stop by the foot, and if we aren't careful, it's
easy to get going faster than is really safe.
Now, Just as engineers have told us how to operate
in safety with our own lights, many experienced
drivers have pointed out how to avoid trouble from
other people's lights. They say that all we have to do,
when passing other cars at night, is to stop looking
at their lights and watch the right-hand side of the road.
The truth of the matter is that night driving can be just as pleasant end
Just as safe as day driving. But we have to be more alert and more careful.
