One must be alert to every change while driving. Sometimes, a bit of
caution goes a long way. Too many drivers adapt slowly to changes in
their Eyes and maintain driving habits that, while appropriate to younger drivers, become actively dangerous to older ones.
First, stay in the slow lane, and don’t be too quick to pass. Changing lanes opens up blind spots for everyone, and these are much worse for those with Low Vision.
Second, be realistic about the Reaction Time and the vision. Give cars in the front a wide berth. Also, one must be aware of how far ahead one can see. If the headlights and vision combine to give oneself an extremely short range of vision, drive only at speeds that allow one to stop within that distance, even if it’s a little narrower than one might like.
If one feels difficulty in driving and experiences headaches, do consult a Eye Doctor at the earliest.
So this week let's practise Healthy Driving and make the road safer.
