Nighttime Driving

The Dangers and Risks

Traffic accidents are America's largest health threat costing the economy approximately $150 billion.
Every year 41,000 persons are killed on our nation's highways and another 3 million are injured.
At nighttime when visibility is reduced, the dangers increase dramatically. The nighttime crash rate is 1.6 times that of the daytime rate.
Traffic deaths at night are three to four times greater than during the day even though the traffic volume is significantly less.
It's not only more hazardous for the driver at night but also more hazardous for his passengers, other drivers and pedestrians.
Research shows that approximately 2,300 pedestrians are killed annually in the U.S. due to drivers' inability to see at night.
