Driving at night in Ireland
At night your view is limited to what your lights reveal, so the theory test checks that you adjust your speed and use your lights properly after dark.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Drive so you can stop within the distance lit by your headlights.
- ◆ Use full beam on unlit roads but dip for oncoming traffic and when following another vehicle.
- ◆ If dazzled by oncoming lights, slow down or stop -- do not stare into the lights.
- ◆ Keep your windscreen and lights clean, as dirt scatters light and worsens dazzle.
- ◆ Watch for unlit hazards such as pedestrians, cyclists and animals at the edge of your beam.
