Association suggests some tips that can help motorists be safer night drivers: Tipe No. 1 -Look as far ahead as you can. If you can see an object that, might present a hazard, assume that it will, and slow down until you are absolutely certain it is not a hazard. Keep your windshield dlean. A windshield that is dirty in- side or outside causes glare, decreasing visibility. Windshieldý wipers that leave streaks or chatter across the windshield also decrease visibility and should be replaced.' Clean, properly aligned headllghts are also very important for iden- tifying hazards. Tip No. 2 -Avoid over-driving your headlights. When an object becomes illuminated by your headlights, you should be driving slow enough to stop your car safely without hitting it. Tip No. 3 -Make sure other drivers can see you. Keep your tail- AUTO FACTS Automobile technologies advancing'. (NC) - "New technologies and products are already on test for future introduction," says J.E. ("Ted") Robertson, diriector of Canadian Engineering at GM of Canada. "The technological ad- vancements that we've experienced over'the last 100 years wilI pale in comparison to those that will be in production between now and the turn of the century. The possibili- dies are endless." According to Robertson, the interface between the operator a nd the vehicle will be an intricate one, as vehicle "personalization" be- cornes even more prevalent. On- board personal computers wiIl soon be as common as cellular tele- phones, allowing the operator or assenger to enter or retrieve data from the car's computer system. Robertson says that retrieval or broadcast of data will be easily accomplished either through an on- board cathode ray tube (a high-tech feature already available in Buick Riviera models) or a planar siot- roof antenna with a satellite Iink. Electronic technology, for ex- ample, will also be used for voice command systems that will reduce the "cockpit workload" to a mini- Imum, he says. Speech recognition will permit operation' of climate control, entertainment systems and even telephone dialing. The systemn wouild be sophisticated enough to detect impairment by focusing on actions that are fundamental ta the Idriver's safe- operation of the vehicle, such as appropriate steer- ,ng and braking behaviour. Robertson 'boints out that these systems are only the tip of the tech- nology iceberg currently under re- search, and testing by GM' en- gineers. lights, turn signais, and brake lights dlean- and in good working order. IL only*takes a moment to walk around the car Lo check these systenis. Have someone- sit inside the car to operate the lights, brakes and turn signais or it's easy Lo check yourself in an enclosed area. Use your high.beams, but. don't forget to dim theni for oncoming traffic or cars in front of'you. STip No. 4 -If a driver coming toward you is using high beanis,, flash your. ights quickly with the. dimmer switch. If the driver fails to dim the lights, look toward the right side of your Jane. This will keep you froni being blinded by 'the other car' s headlights. You should be able to stay on course until the car passes. Tip No. 5 -Don't drive tired. Fatigue diminishes responsiveness needed for safe night driving. If yôu absolutely have to drive ired, pull off the road, where it is safe Lo do so, and rest several tinies during your trip. -Remember, it's better to arrive late and sale than flot at il Many of these safe-driving ips apply during daylight hours as well. Also remember to buekie Up, and insist that your passengers buekie up, too.
