Long-distance driving has a way of eating away at your attentiveness, that is why it is recommended to take regular breaks to refresh your mind, more so if you are driving at night. You can make a stop every two hours and simply walk around the car a couple of times while sipping your coffee to wake your mind.

High beams are really helpful in open roads or rural areas, they let you see far up the road and prepare for a curve or to reduce your speed in response to conditions ahead. Just make sure you dim them when you are closing in or following another car – they will be grateful for the gesture.

Tomorrow’s LUNCH: Beef Ravioli, breadstick, green beans, fruit, milk. Salad is also an option There will be a meeting Thursday during seminar for all juniors and seniors. SAFE Driving Tip – Increase Distance and Reduce Speed. Make use of your headlights to gauge if your distance from the next car is safe. If you cannot bring the car to a gradual stop without flooring the brake pedal, then you are following too close. Another option is what is called the “Two Second Rule”. Look ahead for a stationary object, count out the interval it takes your car to pass the same object after the car ahead has done the same. If it takes less than 2 seconds, you need to slow down.

Doctors often recommend moving your eyes and scanning around instead of focusing straight ahead to reduce the effect of eye fatigue and glare while driving at night. If your eyes are feeling strained from use and cannot perceive road situations correctly, there is nothing the cleanest windshield or the brightest headlight can do to help.

Seniors will be attending County Government Day in Troy on Friday. The bus will leave at 8:30 and return by 12:00. SAFE Driving Tip – Clean and Adjust Your Exterior Mirrors. Dirty mirrors and windshield produce the same distracting effect on drivers. Smeared mirrors can produce glare in your eyes when they diffuse the light from cars behind you into various shapes. Wiping with a microfiber towel or newspaper will help remove the smear. To protect your eyes from the headlights of cars behind you, aim the mirrors downwards, this way you can move your head away from the light or tip forward to see the cars behind you.

The bus will leave at 8:30 and return by 12:00. SAFE Driving Tip – Add Auxiliary Lights - Cautiously. Be sure to confirm the legality of any auxiliary lamps before installing them as some are only meant to supplement your high beams while many others can only be used off-road. The reason is that light beam from LED’s can be as bright as daylight, but after a while your eyes get used to the brightness. Then when you turn off the extra light, your eyes will need as much as 30 seconds to adjust to now dim looking low-beam.

Seniors will be attending County Government Day in Troy on Friday. The bus will leave at 8:30 and return by 12:00. SAFE Driving Tip – Bolt On Some Fog Lights. Just as the name suggests, fog lights illuminate the fog and help the driver see the road better. Since fog often floats a few feet above the road, these lights are aimed as low as possible. Any higher and it will create glare in the fog and confuse oncoming drivers. Even when it is not foggy these lights can still be useful because they illuminate wider and farther than typical low beams.
