Open your eyes to the hazards of nighttime driving

Vision, fatigue and alcohol are the factors that make nighttime driving hazardous. Night vision decreases with age and the chance of encountering visual disorientation is increased because of stationary and moving lights during night time. Large signage and improved road markings are some of the measures being done to make nighttime driving safer. Thermal imaging technology is expected to aid in safe nighttime driving by providing a thermal view of the road ahead and enabling drivers to have better vision in rain, snow and fog, according to Texas Instruments, which is developing a thermal imaging product to be launched by the end of the century.
