In some states the law requires drivers to dim their lights, but in many other states, after ·the authorities have made sure that a lens does not glare in the eyes of oncoming moto.rists, th~ driv~r is free to travel at mght w1th hts bright lights turned on. Desi?ite the precautions of the motor vehtcle departments;" says the bulletin, "lights that have been approved often get out of focus and emit glare. The motorist who has learned his. night dr~ving primer, will never look mto th~ ltghts of oncoming cars; the motonst who keeps his eyes on the strip of roadway his own lights illuminate seldom will be troubled by glare. "Another cause of ·glare arises from the particles of dust that ac~umu~ate on the windshield. A clean wmdsiHcld is essential for safe night driving. The motorist who realizes that dust refracts the rays of oncoming lights, wilt make sure that his windshield is entirety free from dust. The driver who wears glasses will find himself in difficulties · unless he is careful to keep his glasses clean. "Scratches on the windshield also result in glare. Scratches may be caused bv carelessness in cleaning the windshie(d or by allowing a windshield wiper to operate when the ,glass is dry and dusty. "Rain makes even the most accurately adjusted light difficult to meet at night. The wi:;e driver will accommodate his speed to the lower range of visibility. Extreme caution is needed when driving at night in a downpour of rain. Dash lights and dome lights in the car tend to lower visibility in country night driving."
