Per affrontare le curve in massima sicurezza

Avoid braking or changing gears while cornering, especially on wet roads. Under optimal conditions, corners should always be taken with slight acceleration. Following these tips will minimize tire wear.

Night driving

Guida notturna

Driving at night presents greater hazards than driving in daylight. Here are some important tips to remember:

  • Reduce speed and keep a greater distance from other vehicles, as it is harder to see at night, especially where there is no street lighting.
  • Adjust the mirrors to reduce the glare from the headlights of other vehicles.
  • Keep the headlights clean and correctly aimed if the vehicle does not have automatic headlight leveling. Dirty or misaligned headlights will reduce night visibility.
  • Avoid looking directly at the headlights of oncoming vehicles. This may cause temporary blindness, and it will take a few seconds for your eyes to readjust.
