I’m a beginner driver. Only have my permit. And night driving is scary as heck. I literally have 0 depth perception at night, so I’ll be 200m away and start braking as if I’m 50m away

i honestly love night driving. its so calm and relaxing and plus there are no people on the road. i just go for night drives when i cant sleep or when im bored or stressed out and wanna relax. night drives while its raining are my favorite times. or when its snowing. night or day snow is the best and rain


EDIT: i hate driving in normal weather. wow i really love to drive in all the worst times to drive damn

Driving at night is fun when there's not many cars around. 🚗

Potholes are your biggest enemy in dark

I have anxiety so when I drive I worry a bit I do fine in the day time but at night it’s like I can’t see that good and I worry alot

Great tips! I just got my driving licence a couple of weeks ago and sadly none of my lessons were at night; not even late afternoon! I'm too scared to drive in the dark. Hope it gets better, this video will surely help. Keep up the videos, you've helped me lots and I've been on a Paynos spree lately, haha

Drove of the road at night and now im very anxious when driving at night. I had no problem driving at night before the crash.

When driving late at night, especially on dual carriageways or motorways, and the traffic is very light or pretty well non existent, I drive well out from the inside lane (even second or third) when possible so that the headlights can pick out the eye-shine of animals on the verge amongst grass. This allows you to see much further up the road and adjust speed or avoid animals stepping out from only feet away.
Nothing like a badger blundering into the road right in front of the car to send the heartbeat soaring.

you never say anything about how to calculate the space between the sides of the roads especially when you are dazzled on a high beam of the vehicle approaching on the other side. for beginners this is important to learn because getting distracted by lights or darkness makes them swerve.

I can’t see shit @ night, the used car I brought has all around tints including in the front. I’m seriously considering having the front windshield tint removed & getting am new headlights. Thanks for the tip about lowing the brightness of the instrument panels.

every driving lesson ive had is at night haha

How about tips on changing lanes at night?

[abdullahhamadeh]

my problem is that i recently get blinded if there is a car on the opposite side having their light on even if they had normal lights not high on

[slump]

I can't see when people pass by me their lights blind me.

Even though i live in Norway your videos are really helpful :) i'm 17 years old and I'm set to get my licence in september and i have already bought myself a car :) used some of your tips for my last driving lesson :)

[ekennahutchinson]

Thanks 😊 I want to be a confident driver

[evildeeds]

I was the opposite i did most of my lessons at night my friend was teaching me how to drive we was driving in country lanes i got so used to it when i started in the day i was more nervous which caused me to stall more and kept fucking everything up im more confident at night even to this day i passed a year ago i really enjoy driving at night sometimes i will have a drive around with no destination just because i can. I still keep my P plates on i find that other road users are less douchey towards me.

[djshawn]

I know how to drive but in the USA the steering wheel is on the left side and it’s confusing and irritating I can’t drive in the us

[smartdrivetest]

Hi Alex - good video with clear instruction. I lived in Australia for a time and learned to drive on the left side of the road. Dazzle is not a term used in North America or Australia - I like it, dazzle sounds magical!! I know that's not really related to driving. Anyway - good video for those learning to night drive. All the best, Cheers Rick
