Are you and your tires ready for the harsh off-road environment?

3. Become a good night-time driver.
Night driving can be a pleasure if you are aware of the special alertness demanded by low visibility. A few fundamentals:

1. Keep your headlights and tail lights on for the entire period between dusk and sunrise.
2. Put your headlights on low-beam when another vehicle is within 600 feet, or when driving behind another vehicle.
3. If your car breaks down at night, make sure other drivers can see your car and stop in time.
4. Turn on the hazard warning lights. Use flares if you have them.
5. If possible, pull off the road.
6. Avoid stopping just over a hill or just around a curve.
7. Take good notice of roadside reflectors, signs and any other helpful visual signals to stay on the road at night.
