Before Driving X Make sure your windshield and windows (inside and out), headlights, and taillights are clean. X Wear clean corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses with an up-to-date prescription. X Make sure your mirrors are always properly adjusted and clean. X Have a mechanic check if your headlights are properly adjusted, so they light the road properly and do not cause glare for other drivers. While Driving X Do not over drive your vision. If you cannot stop before you reach the edge of your vision, you are driving too fast. X Watch for parked vehicles, cyclists, scooters, pedestrians, children, and animals—especially those in your peripheral vision. In short, watch for anything that can enter your path. X Use extra caution when turning left and trying to judge the speed/distance of oncoming vehicles. X Choose roads that are well lit. X Do not wear sunglasses or dark or tinted (yellow) glasses at night, dusk, or dawn, unless prescribed by an eye doctor. X Have a good pair of sunglasses handy for daytime glare situations. Just make sure you can still read your dashboard and instruments. X Drive more cautiously and carefully at night and avoid looking directly into the headlights of approaching vehicles; look slightly to the right. X Watch for painted lane markings, bike lanes, and parking lanes; these lanes can be difficult to see in low light, rain, or snow. See Activity: Judging Your Vision in Resources. Vision Tips X Have regular eye examinations by a licensed ophthalmologist or optometrist. X Ask if you should get separate eyeglasses for day and night driving. X Ask about anti-reflective coatings on eyeglasses to reduce glare and improve night vision. X Do not use eyeglass frames with wide temples (side pieces) as they may restrict side vision. X Reduce driving at night, dusk, or dawn, when visibility is more limited. X Use caution driving in rain or fog, or when snow, sleet, or ice are present. www.aarp.org/drive Smart Driver Participant Guidebook 17 HOW DO WE NAVIGATE CHANGES? 2 1 2 3 4 5 6
